Qty / Manhour

Hi All,

We got a new project and the client ask to prepare progress report and claim base on the manhours.

I think is not right cause the contract to them is lump sum re-measurement. I have proposed to them the progress report and claim base from installed qty, but they don't agree they still ask to submit manhours. any advise

Regards

Performance Factor Calculation

Dear planners.

I like to know your opinion about the calcutation of Perfomance Factor wich is the relationship between earned units and actual units. Someones use period units to calculate that, but others use accumulate units. I mean, in some cases PF is taken as a relationship of earned and actual units from the last period (i.e. last week, las month). In others cases PF is taken as a relationship of accumulative values, earned and actual.

I think the calculation of PF using accumative units is the better option.

Revised Schedule - Impacted Schedule

D
D Artagnan 👤 Member for 17 years 8 months

I have this predicament.

Our project is delayed and it was only acknowledged by the client thus giving the contractor a TE. The TE was issued on let's say March 31st 2012. The contractor submitted a schedule (they called it revised schedule and we were expecting it to be a 'revised schedule') on April 7th 2012. However, the data date of the submitted revised schedule is 30th of November 2011, which was the date of their impacted schedule they submitted last year.
