Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Supposing the project duration is 300 calendar days and I use calendar with public holidays and weekend (assuming a 6 days work week) for scheduling of construction activities.
I scheduled to have a pour of concrete on this coming Saturday, but the consultant suddenly revised the drawings and the concreting had to be postponed 2 weeks later. Do i entitle the EOT on the Sundays or public holidays?

Hi Gary or Lo

The result of an impacted delay event depends entirely on the quality and detail of your programme.

Can you see precisely in your programme where the delayed pour sits - or are you guessing where it might be in a more global programme?

If it is the latter then you will have great difficulty demonstarting any cause and effect.

I await your response with interest because this goes to the nub of my crusade regarding Bottom Up FS programming.

Best regards

Mike Testro

Hi Gary

You can mark change in design as delay event and impact it on your programme, by the way which cause and effect method you employ for the demonstration of extension of time?.After the impact check do they have any impact on your project completion date.If yes then variance of project completion date of impacted programme and Consented/Updated programme project date in calender dates is your entitlement
