Hi Ali



That is more or less how I got to be a delay analyst - but when I started there were no books or downloads to teach me.



I still beleive that I invented the Impacted as Planned method of analysis.



Keep going at it.



Best regards

Thanks Mike,

I have finished the task, but 10x thanks for offering help

Best Regards,

Hi Ali



You are being asked to do a delay analyst work.



If this is the first time you have been asked to do it then grab the chance and make the best of it.



Do not try to charge extra until you have learnt how to do it.



If you need some basic advice as to how to proceed then let me have more details and I will do my best.



Best regards

I would suggest the 20% includes holidays, taxes and contigency when not being in employment. So you may want to increase that figure abit.

See what a planners gets paid in your country per hr add 20% and charge him per hr spent. The 20% is to cover consumables such as Ink, internet cost, electricity, equipment used and wear and tear. 20% is not a greedy rate so I think you would get more work



Good luck
