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.

Deb,

That settle it, your love for the challenge.

Go for it with all your heart, with all your love for planning, contract administration, procurement.

Believe me, it is very seldom this kind of opportunity will come into your life. You can always look back someday and say "I DID IT MY WAY" same as the popular song "My Way".

Cheers,

Charlie

Hi there,

I did not mean, dont take the challenge.

But, think twice!

Of course every project improves experience, adds new value to your professional belongings.There is no objection for this.

But while you are working within such a challenging project, dont forget to sum enough money for the rest of your life.

Otherwise you will be experienced but without money.

Think twice Deb think twice,

Regards

Hi there,

Of course take the challenge.

But if it is worth to? I mean if you are being paid accordingly.

Best Regards

Pranab,

Take the challenge. It is very seldom that you will encounter this kind of work ambiance.

Believe me, you may be hard pressed to arrive at a solution to the situation you are in, but, you will emerge a stronger planner with regards to planning, contract administration, costing.

Cheers,

Charlie

it sounds like your client is quite unreasonable, looks like you are going to be in for a challenging project.

Dear Mr. Charleston ,
Ya EOT is already an issue as we demobilized after the suspension , also all procurement activity were cancelled ( As it was illegal to work for us in this period due to a local court order ) now we have to completely restructure the procurement (which is a big problem here ) now the client while accepting a EOT equal to the suspension period is not accepting the EOT due to restructuring the Procurementa and the Remobilization period. There are other issues like subcontractors asking exhorbitant increase in prices. So i am also looking to Value engineering for materials which were initially to be outsourced from Europe with that from UAE.
regards

Hi,

Me too, i always thought it was Mr. All the time I was wrong with regards to Miss Dana.

Anyway, Pranab, just suspend the schedule equal to the numbers of months it was suspended.

There was a lot of precedence that you will get the required EOT.

However, but, however, sometimes / maybe the number of months may depends on what the top brass of your company will agree with your client’s top brass. so the final EOT will depend on your boss instructions.

Cheers,

If all the activities are suspended just reflect it in the main calendar by nonworking days, if the suspension is only in limited activities, create a new calendar and link the infected activities with this calendar.

Hope this will work with u

Dana
