Dear all,
May i know how do you calculate how many days that have been delayed for a project from % variance?
For example:
Planned 50% vs Actual 45% = Delayed by 5%
Currently, I calculated the delayed days, Forecast Finish Date - Baseline Finish Date and will get some numbers.
FYI, I'm from Owner side and the contractor's scheduler showing different calculation on getting the delay days using some formula & weightage.
Seek advice & expertise from all.
Thanks.
I am not sure why you want to try to use a percentage. You already have this you said that you calculated the delayed days, Forecast Finish Date - Baseline Finish Date and will get some numbers. That is all you need why are you trying to spin this to get some number based on a percentage ?
Percentages can not be used becasue they accrue at different rates based on the work plannned for a particualr month or update period.
Plan and simple if you the owner and YOU are responsible for the delay then the delay is Forecasted finish date - the Contractual finish date. This would be in calendar days.
Have you looked at concurrent delays ? Contractor as well as weather caused ?
meaning delays the contractor has inflicted by his own doings or what he failed to do ?
Late submittals ? Submittals not submitted in a timely manner or incorrect.
Lack of material = Late delivery of major items.
Lack of manpower not enough manpower on site. What was his planned manpower vs hia actual manpower
Does the contractor have a measured mile for the item or items that he claims he is being delayed ? Meaning what was hsi productivity on they same type of activity prior to the alleged delay and what was his productivity during or after the delay ?
For example prior to the delay he was installing conduit at a rate of 100 ft per day that is hsi measured mile now he can only install conduit at 95 ft per day.
