Project Environment
“ Without competent project planning most
projects will invariably fail to meet their given
time constraints”
5.
Project Environment
COMPLEX PROJECTS
Variety of Organisational & project Interfaces
Increased trades & stakeholder information
Volume of Reactive issues
Continual Benchmarking & Forecasting
Incorporation of Records and data
7.
Project Environment
Dedicated Clause for “Time”
The programme should record the actual progress on each operation
Include effects of implemented compensation events…..
Provisions for Time Risk Allowance & Float
Activities resource loaded
Activity Health & Safety Requirements
A statement for how the contractor plans to do the work

Sanction
Model
Role Delay
BIM
Puts a massive emphasis on the ‘Project Planner’
Specifies detailed requirements for progress-records and scheduling
Requires an independent third party audit of the quality, consistency
and compliance of the entire planning function
Provides for liquidated damages for failure to manage the planning
function
The programme must be a dynamic critical path network
The employer has the power to instruct others to provide as-built
data and make an as-built schedule if not provided by the contractor
Assessment of delay & disruption to be calculated and awarded as the
project progresses with actual implications reviewed later
Workable with integrated computerised drawings and BIM

Project Environment
An evaluation of 975 light And heavy
industrial projects by the Construction
Industry found that only 5.4% met “best in
class” predictability in terms of cost and
schedule
Poor planning estimates and missed
deadlines are among the largest contributors
to project failure, according to Insights and
Trends, PwC’s 2012 Global Project
Management Survey of participants in 28
countries
Research carried out by EC Harris
highlighted that UK construction disputes hit
an average value of £17.7m in 2012, while
the average time taken to resolve disputes
stretched to 12.9 months.
25% of global infrastructure projects are
delivered late
