(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,
I am new to claims etc. I have been brought in on a project as a project planner, and i was given a copy on PDF of the original tender program - the person completing the tender has left the company and i have not got a software version of his program.
Anyway, i have built up the construction schedule, which follows a different methodolgy than the tender - this is because the client has had an input when we should be doing things (due to the fact that they need to intergrate different civil contractors). We have also had severe delays in getting access to do our works because of other contractors being late.
The client wants us to provide what he called a "differential" between tender and the construction program, so that we can submit EOT's etc.
Problem is;
I cant use software to compare impact
Activity descriptions on tender and construction is different
Sequencing is different.
The start activity, which kicks off a critical chain is 81 days later than tender, but the sequencing changes in order for us to meet our PC date.
Any help/ideas?

Hi Anthony
In a confused situation the best route is to keep it simple.
When different contractors are interfacing on the same project the only three things that you need to know is:
1. When you planned to start your work after the other contractor left the sector.
2. When you actually started work.
3. What was the delay effect of any difference
So set up a single bar for the first item and then another bar for your contract work and the third bar is the remaining work for completion - link them FS.
You can now shift these around to demonstrate cause and effect of any changes.
This is known as As Planned v As Built delay analysis and is only valid in your situation.
Best regards
Mike Testro
