Following is the situation,
Delays and responsibilities - There are about 20-30 main delaying events from the Client. The Contractor has their concurrent delays mainly due to the lack of resources and poor management of resources.
The baseline program is almost neatly drafted as far as logic linking/sequencing/activities are considered. But it does not provide productivities considered by the Contractor. Also it does not provide resource requirements considered for activities.
Variations – there are around 500 cases of variations to the project varying of minor, small to big in quantum.
Updates – the program updates have not properly incorporated variations to the work. For example when a variation is observed, the construction team have gone ahead with constructing it without reflecting any of this in the program updates. Also the changes in actual construction logic as against the planned logic is not updated in the program updates. Due to the horizontal nature of project, there are so many activities which are started in 2007 (say) and have continued upto 2009. I mean activities which are not split even though the work is virtually stopped on them. The actual reason is that the resources have been re-deployed from these activities towards some other work fronts and the planners did not even know that the resources are re-deployed.
What would be your suggestion in approaching the delay claim of this project.
Do I need to re-build the entire updates? It is a 15000 activity program as of now. How could I move forward to do a TIA for this case.
