Seeking assistance re: Project Recovery

Sanjay Suchit
Hello all,



I've been assigned to a job already started that has spiralled out of control (schedule-wise) and I am attempting to bring things back on track.



I have the last schedule submitted to the client (that was on-track), but now have numerous instances of project delays due to materials, rain, permits, client instructions, etc.



Any suggestions as to how to include these items into MS Projects so that I can get an idea of where we are actually supposed to be.....?

    Thanks for the responses so far.



    For the actual job, we have formulated a new schedule to deal with the outstanding works, however, as a lot of the work is civil in nature, this shows an end date that is beyond the original (with increased resource allocation).



    I have some related questions:



    1.) I'm dealing with a project that is running for about a year thus far. Client delays include: late issue of permits (1-2 hrs per day), changes in instructions (impacts on the pre-works which in itself involves a significant amount of work), approvals for drawings & designs. To justify the Extension of Time, how can I go back and show this on the schedule (given that this was not input into the project schedule before, but was recorded separately)?



    2.) As we have learnt a bit from the execution thus far, the new schedule that we are using is not identical to the original....in this case a less detailed schedule allows for better tracking/ view as opposed to detailed (since a lot of the work is simultaneous). My question in this case is: should this be done/ what is the best practice/ should I keep to the original format (BOQ type)???



    The less detailed schedule (in my view) should not be a problem since the contract stated that payment are to be made only when all the work has been completed & handed over.
