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.....?

    In a general sense, how do you tackle the following:



    think about the construction of a basic pipeline around an island, with the job being broken down to: (1) dig trench (2) lay pipe.



    Divide the total project into 4 sections (North, South, East & West).



    Now as the contractor you have completed task 1 in the North and have reached 50% of task 2, whereas in the East you have 25% task 1 completed.



    However, the client now requires you to halt all task 2 works in the North, but allows work to continue in the East.



    You must finish task 1 before starting task 2

    All work in other sections require North to be completed

    You will only get paid for completed sections



    My core issue is the delay. How do you treat with a delay in one aspect of your job that will eventually impact on the completion date although you have work available to you?
