Number of Days Required

Hi Aryan

As always if it is not stated in the contract then whatever is deemed reasonable applies.

You will need a reasonable time to comply with their request.

If it will take longer to do so then explain why and tell them when it will be ready.

Best regards

Dear Aryan,

It depends on the size of the project that you have.
Usually, as per FIDIC, you are supposed to submit your program of works within 28 days.

Planning and scheduling is an iterative process, so you can always continue providing the client with more details. Complete the high level works and then you can submit the more detailed information.

If you know what your recovery plan is, then preparing the schedule should not be a problem. But if you team is still figuring it out, then you need time.

With kind regards,

Hi Samer,

Thank you for the input. There are 5000 activities.

Do I need to integrate all their comments including Project Risk Register, and list of all changes made to the logic or planned durations during the development of the recovery plan.

Thank you & Best Regards,

Aryan

Dear Ayan,

This is a good size Schedule for around $10M project. This can be handled within the two weeks period.

Decide what your team’s recovery plan is:

1) Increasing the resources or working double shifts
2) Starting more activities in the near future.
3) Changing the Construction Methods.
4) Subcontracting the Works
5) Allowing Overtime for the same teams.
6) Increasing the Productivity by providing incentives for completed works
7) Increasing the Productivity by bringing experts
8) Changing the management teams while maintain the same cost of management.
9) Identifying the bottle necks in the process and reducing or eliminating it.
10) Identify activities that are causing delays and find the best solutions to reduce the time as much as possible.

What you need to do is identify what is the most likely method that your Contractor will follow and what your Client will approval and then you work hard on modifying your Schedule accordingly.

With kind regards,

Samer

Hi Hammad

You are best advised to place this request in a new thread - it is not  a good idea to wake up an old thread with a new topic.

I will look for your new thread and then delete this one.

Best regards
