I work for sub contractor(electrical systems - cctv, pabx, fire alarms, networking). I m quite new to this career and have range of questions. I hope the experts here wouldnt be bored by my limited intelligence
1)How important is my tender program? Need it be detailed? Or shall I construct a detailed program later so as to insert in the sub contract agreement. if so is there any other data I need to insert to support the programme, such as productivity, assumptions, pending information restricting proper programming etc.?
2)I assume that the contract program is a detailed version of the tender program provided all the milestones in the tender program are honored. Suppose this contract program gets a late approval, and some activities have already slipped, which program do I compare with? Will I be at a risk if I absorb this changes and show a realistic program? in short is it necessary delays are compared with the contract program or the latest program submitted(maybe agreed or not agreed).
3)one another questions which mystifies me is, is it a proper method to show, shop drawing submission approval, material procurement data etc. as activities which are linked to the site activities. Or is it better to show these indirect activities only for internal purposes and hide them from submissions?
4)what is the best way to tackle the time aspect of a change order? should I add these as activities in the updated program as and when it occurs to show the disruption it creates?
5)Lastly suppose I m in middle of a project and delays had already occurred partly by the client, partly by the main contractor and partly by our company, how do I properly separate each delay and show the consequences of the delay due to each party in a simple way?
I have used P3 and am comfortable with it. I have had a look at Expedition but I think it’s a bit too much for me. Any help would be appreciated.
