Clause 14 programme or updated programme

Just few points:



- As the Engineer instructed you to delay some milestones in the program; most likely the durations of your activties coming after the milestones will be reduced or overlapped (in order to keep the project completion date the same). There is chance for acceleration costs here. In case of FIDIC 1987, Clauses 6.2 & 6.3. In case of FIDIC 1999, Clause 8.4(e). In case of nec3, Clause 60.1(8).



- As far as I know; the revised program supersedes the previous one in all aspects (after you settle the claims based on the first one). Also refer to clause 14.2 of FIDIC 1987 and clause 32 of nec3.



As always; the golden rule is to keep records of everything happening at site in any program; till you settle which program to be used. In your position I will update both programs till settlement.

Hi Kier.



What is your form of contract?



In the original programme:



Do any of the sectional completion dates have LAD’s attached to them or is the final completion date the only one with LAD’s?



Is there any float between the sectional completion and final completion dates or does the critical path run through one or more of the sections?



Have you impacted the delays on the original programme to create the revised programme?



Best regards
