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 Ch

Impacted as planned - not suitable for forensic analysis

Time Impact - compares the impacted plan with the as built programme

As built v As planned - compares the as planned with the as built - suitable for sub-contract situations

As Built but For (colapsed as built) - removes the delay element from the as built programme to colapse it back to the as planned.

Best regards

Hi CH

A fully detailed delay analysis using any one of the four recognised methods can quite often confuse the arbtrators.

It all depends on who is arbitrating - if the person is an acknowledged  delay expert then he/she would expect to see a robust delay analysis and an excell sheet would not be enough.

Otherwise a simple narrative backed up with excell pictures could be enough to simply explain the problem to a non techncal judge.

Best regards

Is a programme essential, a must?

Can I substantial all my claim with letters to the contractor only ?

My problem is that the way the company works, we never update the schedule, even we use P6 or MS project. We just submit a new programme to reflect and revise on our new schedule ... It show no actuals, no update, no changing of data date and thinsg are kept to very simple, just a hard copy for reference.  Would this be useful for arbitratory?

Kindly advice

I am arbitrating an EOT claimed over an excel programme.

It does not provide enough proof to sustain the claim and makes me think that the contractor is incompetent and that all the delays were its responsibility for not having an ongoing CPM update process to manage the project.

I am serious.

Best regards,

Carlos.
