Foundation Types

Any Advise would be greatly appreciated.

The project I have in mind is a 3 storey house with a basement. I am considering different options for the foundation types as I am managing the project myself and I am trying to find the most cost effective solution for a foundation to include a basement at the site.

Contractor Mandays Claim

D
D Artagnan 👤 Member for 17 years 8 months

I have this issue:

The project is currently incurring delays due to delay in issuance of the client of the required drawings. That's given. We have not assessed yet (final assessment) the impact. However, we received the letter from the contractor claiming for the mandays specifically for draftsmen, lost due to this delay. I cannot find in the contract anything mentioning about this.

1) Should we consider assessing this?

Primavera P6 to P3e

R
Rhys Parry 👤 Member for 14 years 8 months

Hello

 

I have a client that only has Primavera P3e and as I have Primvavera P6 version 2 is it possible to send the plan from P6 to P3e.

I was thinking of Exporting it to a suitable file location and then for the client to then use P3e to Import the plan in from this.

Any ideas

Thanks

Types of Contract

I'd like to get some discussion going on the pros and cons of the different types of contracts that are available, e.g. Lump sum fixed price, remeasurement contracts, reimbursible contracts, cost plus contracts etc. What are the client drivers for selecting a particular contract type and what are the pitfalls and advantages for both the client and contractor? I am particularly interested in the owner/client perspective with respect to risk and reward split.

How Many Project Planners?

Does anyone have a guide as to how to scope the requirement of Project Planners accross a portfolio of projects of varying sizes.

I understand that size & complexity of project and the level of service provided will be influensing factors, but is there a rule of thumb maybe in relation to the number of project managers.  1PP to 1 PM  or  1PP tp every 2 PMs maybe?
