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.

Hi

I checked the ownership of total float in the specification

It has been defined as

Ownership of float belongs to the project {who ever use it first} .

what does who ever use it first mean ?

Dear Shahul,

There are many articles about the subject. What you described is only one opinion "Whoever use it first".

IMHO you need to look at it case by case. The Schedule is prepared by the Contractor. The client doesn’t need the schedule, they need the end product. Schedules are tools to solve the issues. Expert opinion at site is a better way to solve the issues. Especially from the people who have hands on the issues.

With kind regards,

Samer

It means the first delay events to occur will not result in EOT regardless of whether it is contractor or client responsibility, up until the point when all total float is eroded.
