Time control and


monitoring

Prepared by: Motuma G.(MSc.)

Introduction
Scheduling is a mechanical process for laying out the
various activities of a certain project or program along
a time scale and in a proper sequence.
In other words, scheduling is the preparation of a time
table or an action plan which serves as a guide for the
implementation of the activities and computation of
resources required at different stages in time.
Every construction projects are time bounded.
Due to the above nature, based on the contract time
delays results to penalties while early completion
might earn rewards
There may be many reasons both foreseeable and
unforeseeable, for non-completion of a project on the
intended completion time. 2
…Cont’d
The absence of a project time plan almost makes
certain that a project cannot be completed on
schedule without incurring extra costs.
Advantages of having a Construction plan/ Work
program before the commencing the construction
project is:
 Formulating directions,
 Optimum utilization and orderly arrangements of
resources,
 control of cost, progress and quality of executed work,
 Controlling performance and motivating people

…Cont’d
Planning requires an intimate knowledge of
construction methods combined with the ability
to visualize distinct work elements and to
establish their mutual interdependencies.
Construction planning is a fundamental and
challenging activity in the management and
execution of construction projects.
A good construction plan is the basis for
developing the budget and the schedule for
works.

…Cont’d
Construction planning consists of the following
basic steps
 Choice of technology and method of construction,
 Definition of work tasks,
 Creating logical relationship among individual tasks
 Estimation of the required resources and durations for
individual tasks

Project schedule
The approved Master schedule, called
the schedule baseline, is a component of
the overall project plan.
It provides the basis for measuring and
reporting schedule performance.
In PPA, the general conditions of
contract Clause 29-32 has clear
stipulation on project schedule(program),
Time Control (PPA)
Clause 27.1
 The Contractor shall submit the work program showing
the general methods, arrangements, order, and timing
for all the activities in the Works within the time stated
in special condition of contract
Clause 27.2
 The work program shall be updated based on the
progress of the work including any changes
Clause 27.3

work program within the time stated in SCC
…Cont’d
Clause 27.4
 The Engineer’s approval of the Program shall not
alter the Contractor’s obligations,
 The Contractor may revise the Program and submit it
to the Engineer again at any time.
 A revised Program shall show the effect of Variations
and Compensation Events.
Clause 28, Extension of the intended
completion date
Clause 28.1
 The Engineer shall extend the Intended Completion
Date if a Compensation Event occurs or a Variation
are issued 8
…Cont’d
Clause 28.2
The Engineer shall decide whether and by
how much to extend the Intended
Completion Date within 21 days after recipt
of the time extention claim.
If the Contractor has failed to give early
warning of a delay or has failed to cooperate
in dealing with a delay, the delay by this
failure shall not be considered in assessing
the new Intended Completion Date.

…Cont’d
Clause 29, (Acceleration)
Clause 29.1 and 29.2
When the Employer wants the Contractor to
finish before the Intended Completion Date, the
Engineer will obtain priced proposals for
achieving the necessary acceleration from the
Contractor
If the Employer accepts these proposals,
1. the Intended Completion Date will be
adjusted accordingly and confirmed by both
the Employer and the Contractor.
2. The new proposal will be incorporated in the
Contract Price and it will be treated as a
Variation. 10
…Cont’d
Clause 30, (Delays ordered by the Engineer)

circumstance on the Contract Price and Completion Date
Clause 32.2

making and considering proposals for how the effect of
such an event or circumstance can be 12
Performance reports

Performance reports provide information on schedule


performance such as which planned dates have been
met and which have not. It may also alert the project
team to issues which may cause problems in the future.
Performance reporting involves collecting and
disseminating performance information in order to
provide stakeholders with information about how
resources are being used to achieve project objectives.
Change requests

Change requisites may occur in many


forms-oral or written, direct or indirect,
externally or internally initiated, and
legally mandated or optional. Changes
may require extending the schedule or
may allow accelerating it
Construction work progress recordings
and keeping dairies
 Site records
 Delay in construction projects are very common specially in countries like
Ethiopia.
 This demand the follow up of the activities over a prolonged time.
 Therefore keeping accurate records plays a significant role, particularly
when there is a tendency for varying the work.
 It is therefore become imperative to maintain accurate written site records,
which include;
 Work progress
 Material quality for quality control
 Weather data
 Working hours
 Any incidents
 Material on sites
 Labor and equipment deployed
 Instructions issued (co-signed by all)
Construction work progress recordings
and keeping dairies
Maintain work progress
Maintain a log sheet of materials delivered/used
Maintain record of instructions, date given and to
whom given
Maintain record of variation orders given, date
given and to whom given
Keep record of measurements, co-signed
Record details of works before covering up( ex.
Foundations)
Keep record of tests and relevant material data
Construction work progress recordings
and keeping dairies
The following items should also be a part of
the construction administration record
keeping
 Field observations reports: follow-ups on all unresolved items
 Shop drawings, samples, product data, checklist of all required
submissions
 Submittals: checklist of all required submittals correspondence
 Payment requests, schedules of contract sum and time, change
orders
 Change orders and construction change directives
 Drawings and revisions
 Specifications and revisions
 Status of requests for information's and requests for quotations
 Memos on delay caused by weather, strikes, unavailability of
materials, and other things.
Reports
The purpose of the inspector’s site visit is to become
“generally familiar” with the progress and quality of the
work and to determine if the work is being done
in a manner which will yield results consistent with the
contract documents.
The supervisor is required to keep the owner informed of the
progress and quality of the work.
Most inspectors discharge this continuing obligations by
sending the owner a written report of each site visit with a
copy sent to the contractor.
The report should be a complete record of the proceedings at
the inspector’s job site visit and should include;
Reports
 Date
 Time, duration
 Weather conditions
 Persons present
 Percentage of work completed by trade
 Work progress compared to schedule
 Work now being accomplished, work scheduled before next visit
 Questions raised by the contractor or owner
 Determinations made by the engineer
 Any questions or actions which remain pending for appropriate
later attention.
