I worked as a client-planner and based on site with our contractors.
On a monthly basis, the contractors send their LV 4 xer Programme which feeds into my LV3 programme for progress monitoring and control. Progress has been slow in the last couple of months, and my manager has now asked me to start doing weekly lookahead and update programme based on a weekly meeting with our Project Engineer - Clients PE. The aim is to afford visibility of any delays at the early stage and challenge EPC contractors appropriately. I feel whatever info regarding progress being supplied by in-house PE/PMs cannot be accurately correctly as they don't have absolute control of the work and this method is not practicable. Can I get an idea of the best way to manage this, welcome advise from previous client planners?
