(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi 

Please advise

Contract period for MEP Scope of works mentioned as calendar days and there is a letter from the client which states Friday is off applicable to all contractors on board,in this case the impact of delay event should be calculated as calendar days or working days

Hi Shahul

It is important to differentiate the difference between calendar and working days wjen describing cause and effect of a delay event.

The duration of a delay event could be either a working or calendar day duration depending on the nature of the event.

If it is a delay arising from a late preceding activity that is already on the programme then it should be the same calendar as the delaying task.

If it is a late delivery of materials that is not on the programme then a 7 day week calendar would be more appropriate.

The delay effect is always expressed in calendar days.

Best regards

Shahul,

 

can't you just adjust all your labour calendars to have Friday off, re-run your schedule, and this will tell you your EOT claim?
