When we're analyzing the schedule, what we're really seeing is that
no you're actually delayed a little bit more than that.
You're delayed about 52 or 60.
And then we keep moving on.
The contractor keeps saying, no, no, I am doing well, it's still 44 days,
it's still 44 days, it's still 44 days and so on.
They keep telling us we're doing well.
You notice that the orange curve which is based on the actual dates and
the actual durations of which activity.
So again, pure duration data Is looking at and saying, no, no.
I'm seeing here, a hundred, you're actually a hundred days back,
delayed, you're actually a hundred days delayed.
They're saying no, we're actually 44 days delayed.
That means, they're eating up their float and
this is based on evaluating their performance and
not just what they're saying the date they are going to finish at.
So we kept evaluating this on a monthly basis.
Every month I'm looking at what the metric from earned duration has set and
what the contractor is reporting.
And at the end of the day you really see that there's no running away from it.
By the end of the project, they couldn't say I'm delayed 44 days anymore,
because 44 days are gone already.
I can't say that anymore.
I have to really start telling what's the real narrative,
what's really happening on the project.
If I'm not so optimistic about my performance,
if I'm not going to be performing at double my rate just to meet the schedule.
So, we find that this a very important tool in really showing your contractors,
or showing your teams, or your subs that the probability of you
continuing with this trend will not help you in meeting the project schedule.
So that really helps in getting ahead and from an analytical standpoint rather
than having a bunch of people talking about their opinions in meetings, but
really show the data.
Really show what is your opinion based on and that would really help open a lot of
people's eyes on no, this is what's really happening on the project,
and we need to start dealing with it with corrective action.
