Hi PP,
I was at an interesting meeting at the other day, and we had a phone call coming from site that the project was put on hold. After the initial inquiries, we understand that the representative of the Owner comes to site and they have reservations on the dust and safety barrier around the excavation, so 5 upper management from the subcontractor side with 5 from the Main Contractor and 2 from the Client rush to site to see what is wrong.
2 hour wasted x 12 = 24 hours of heavy weights wasted because the Owner Rep #1 said hold the work due to something that was proved to be incorrect.
The instructions were being followed to the letter, and considerable time was wasted in excercising common sense that the situation is safe and the remark and the instruction that follow was incorrect.
Has anyone gone through something similar. Any recommendations.
With kind regards,
Samer
PS the situation was solved with facts at site. But it took hours of negotiations.
