Planning • Priorities and Sequencing • People (PM, SO, etc) / Resourcing • Initial Critical Path Network program • Phasing/TOP/Handing-Over • Methods • Set up regular Site Meeting / Design Team Meeting • Approval Systems (AI, AD, Site Memo etc) • Documents Issuance system
Extension of Time • SIA Contract (Clauses 23 and 24) allows for EOT and (pre-agreed) Liquidated Damages for delays not foreseen. (Also UK, Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) and RIBA Contracts) • “Time-at-large” if EOT not agreed • Contractor must give Notice within one month • Architect must reply within one month if Contractor is entitled “in principle”
Delays and disruption • Delays are inevitable on the majority of projects • Can be reduced by a properly considered programme • The programme should be updated to record actual progress and any extensions of time • If these are followed then the programme is a good tool for managing change and delay
Delays and Disruption Examples of delay Contractors responsibility • Incorrect programme and methodology • Weak site management • Delays by the supply chain • Unforeseen site conditions • Poor health and safety • Poor quality of workmanship • Sometimes the weather
Delays and Disruption Disruption • Generally affects a contractors intended labour or plant output • It is distinctly different from delay in that a contract may be disrupted but the completion date not affected.
Liquidated and ascertained damages (LAD’s) • Predetermined calculation of loss on the part of the client if the contractor does not complete on the agreed completion date. • Usually expressed as a cost per week. • Client does not have to prove his actual losses. • Contractors liability is limited to the agreed damages.
Concurrent delay – what is it? • “The expression concurrent delay is used to denote a period of project overrun which is caused by two or more effective causes of delay which are of approximately equal causative potency” Marrin QC, Society of Construction Law, February 2013 • “ Two or more delay events occurring within the same time period each independently affecting the Completion Date” Judge Seymour – Royal Brompton Hospital NHS Trust v Frederick Hammond & Ors.
The Planning Process Programming 6509BESG LJMU 2017
Planning process This lecture will cover the following: • Why we need to plan • Who needs to plan • The various types of programmes
Planning process • Typical Planning Question • The following are five different types of programme that could be used at various stages in planning a contract. • Clients master schedule ( 5marks) • Contractors procurement programme (5 marks) • Contractors tender programme (5marks) • Design information programme (5 marks) • Six weekly short term programme (5 marks) • In some detail, explain what these programmes are, why they may be necessary
Planning process Why do we need to plan? • To set a realistic timescale for the project • To forecast the rate of progress required • To organise a methodology for tackling the project • To forecast the resources required • To provide a tool to monitor and control progress • To communicaterequirements from other parties • To protect contractual interests • To give direction andcontrol
Planning process Why do we need to plan? • Appraise the risks • Plan the design • Agree a duration and cost • Measure the progress • Plan for corrective action
Planning process Who needs to plan? • Client • Designers • Project managers/resident engineer/QS • Principal contractor • Supply chain
Planning process What might go wrong with poor planning? • Budgets may be exceeded • Contract completion dates may overrun • Quality may be substandard • Extension of time claims/loss and expense/ LD claims • Litigation • Health and Safety problems • Latent defects
Planning process Pre tender (contractor) • Tender Planning ( programme and method statement) • Brief procurement programme outlining the delivery of key subcontract items
Planning process Tender planning Students • What issues do you think need to be considered at this stage? • Tender programme (this will later be developed into the construction programme or master programme) • Devise methodology to build the project (method statement) • Resource programmes to identify labour and plant requirements • What work will be subcontracted and who will be invited to tender
Planning process Project planning (clients team) • Overall strategy ( master schedule) • Who will control? • What is the procurement route? • Timescales ( design , tender, project duration) • Cost
Planning process Project master schedule • Embraces the complete process from inception, feasibility design, through the tender and negotiation stage, construction and handover • Imperative as the client will need to negotiate funding • Client will need to set completion to satisfy tenants or end users
Planning process Project master schedule Students What issues do you think have to be considered at this stage? • Start Date • End Date • Milestone Dates • Working Hours • Productivity per Activity
Planning process Various types of planning requirements Prior to contract commencement( contractor) • Information required schedule (IRS) • Procurement programme (or schedule) • Resource programme • Design programme • Construction programme • Contractors Phase Health and Safety Plan
Planning process Various types of planning programmes Contract • Weekly programmes • Short term (6-week programmes) where critical • 3-monthly Rolling Program (Last Month/This Month/Next Month) • Monthly review of design, procurement and contract schedules
Planning process Tender planning • Preliminaries schedule & Temporary Works • Hording, ECM & Scaffold schedule • Risk schedule • H&S Issues • Site visit
Planning process Procurement Schedule • Identifies requirements for key subcontractors (Domestic or Sub-Contract) and (Alternative) materials • Should include design ,manufacturing, mobilisation and Installation periods • Shows latest dates for ordering • Monitored and updated regularly
Planning process Resource programme • Includes requirements for both direct and subcontract labour • Will show total labour required throughout the project identifying peak requirements • Used as a discussion tool when procuring subcontractors • Monitored and updated at weekly subcontract meetings
Planning process Information required programme • Drawings,specifications,schedules-NOT technical queries • Technical queries are used to request clarification of details • Relates to the contract programme • Should be timely-not too early or too late. • Details what information required and by when • Can be useful as a contractual document if needed • Reviewed and updated at monthly/fortnightly clients meetings
Planning process Design programme • Consultants may produce this document • Informs when information will be available • Must be checked against Risk Schedule /Procurement programme and construction programme to satisfy requirements • Monitor and review at monthly/fortnightly design review meetings
Planning process Construction programme • Developed from the tender programme • Includes additional information after tender submission • Must show all key milestone events • Does notshow any float • Only altered if Extension of Time awarded or update required for Contract • Well structured programme protects the contractors interests • One of the most important contract documents
Planning Process Floral Pavilion Contract Prog
Planning Process Programme Float • Simply defined as the difference between the shortest possible time to complete an activity and the time allowed in the programme • The sum of all the activity floats equals the total project float • It is possible to have negative float where the time allowed for an activity on the programme is less than the time needed
Planning process Target programme • Based on a shorter contract period than contract programme • Produced to save time/money • Or…To gain extra float for contract programme • Shortens or overlaps durations shown on contract programme • May affect Risk Schedule and Procurement programmes
Planning process Short term (6 weekly programmes) • Schedules the contract or target programme into manageable “bite size” stages • Encourages team to look ahead • Rollover programme reviewed each week • Discussed and agreed with project management and supply chain • Will identify key deliveries ,key operations, important Health and Safety issues
