Question about insurance liability - this one is only tangently related to our usual schedule items. I am looking at the “value” at bid time of the owner moving from a cap on liability for the contractor comparing 100% of the contract price on liability vs.
Afternoon all,
Looking for a bit of advice regarding 4d planning software, Not sure what thread to put this is.
I am a construction planner currently working for a tier 1 Contractor in the UK , we are looking to use a current project as an exemplar to see what BIM software we can use and the benefits we can get out of it.
Whatever software is deemed successful/useful we would then look to roll it out company wide for all future projects.
An engineer does a complicated 15 -20 page schedule that they have worked on for a year as part of the design documents. Then the contractor wins the project and has 60 days to start from scratch to produce a better one - this makes no sense, it is just re-inventing the wheel. I realize there are some "means & methods & legal" issues but it is a massive waste of time when that same time coould be spent further progressing the existing schedule and making it better. Engineer's version of the construction schedule are generally better - based on the fact that they ha
Excel Schedules have their uses. (I am a 33 year P3/P6 user also) What is the best one we can get a copy of that you have seen? - price not being an issue either. For example from the MS template database etc. CATEGORY 1 - EASY FOR CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDANTS COULD USE. CATEGORY 2 - SLICK/COOLEST, DIFFICULTY NOT AN ISSUE. (can even include smartsheets etc, but i would think excel could beat it, maybe not?)

"Received for Record" - does this mean neither approved or rejected so contractor can get paid? - And leave the owner more time to negotiate issues with the contractor without holding up payment? Do you see this much more now?
Hi Everyone,
Been a while since i have been here, glad to be back.
I am considering a new planning position in a new sector (semiconductor industry) and having some trouble with the terminology they use, can anyone tell me what a "WIF Schedule" is?
delay claims that push into winter - does the party responsible have to pay for the Winter Ripple effect also? For example, with a bridge deck - original pour in October, owner delay causes pour in November, the deck requires a coating that has a spec requireing 50 degrees and rising - which will not be until Spring, so does the owner have to pay "delay costs, ie overhead" the 3-4 winter months also? I assume in hot locations mayber there is a "not summer" equivalaent - I have mainly worked in cold climates.
Good evening,
I've been using Primavera P6 off and on, but now I've gone through two training courses and I am still a bit unsure of which percent complete type to utilize. Whilst I understand how Physical % complete works, it does not produce a roll up.
The master scheduler from my previous project (Gas-To-Liquids Plant refurbishment) always stood by the units % complete on the basis of being able to illustrate a roll up summary percentage complete to clients/investors etc.
The issue I've had with these types is this;
