Q. 1 According to you, to whom is the delay attributable to? Owner or the Contractor?

In particular, who has to be blamed, the contract manager of the contractor, the project
manager of the contractor or the plant and machinery manager of the contractor?

ANSWER

A) To whom is the delay attributable to?

 The delay is attribute purely to the contractor because in the contract, it has
mentioned that the allrelevant permit from the statutory authorities that were required
for running, storing and maintaining the construction equipment was under the scope
of the Contractor.
 But for this situation the officials halted the development work on the grounds that,
the tip of the Cathead of the Tower Crane utilized at the site was situated at a rise of
0.5 meter over the most extreme level referenced in the height permit.
 As per word building which is notice in agreement is alluded as the permanent
construction on the project site. The height infringement was ascribed to the tower
crane, which was delegated a 'temporary structure' in the agreement under the term
'construction equipment’ and it was clearly referenced that "all important grants from
statutory authorities that were needed for running, storing and keeping up the
construction equipment was under the scope of the Contractor.
 So this is certain that the work was halted in view of the working height of equipment
and not for the reason that of the structure height.
 And according to the agreement among proprietor and project worker every one of
the grants identified with running, working and upkeep of construction equipment
were under the extent of the contractor.
 Hence, the deferral is owing to the contractor.

B)In particular, who has to be blamed, the contract manager of the contractor, the
project manager of the contractor or the plant and machinery manager of the
contractor?

 In this case, a solitary individual can't be accused since every one of them. for
example, contract supervisor of the contractor, the venture chief of the contractor, or
the plant and machinery director of the contractor have committed the accompanying
errors.
 Contract manager – He expanded the danger of a project worker by keeping the
license turn out needed for transitory designs. for example construction equipment to
their side (contractor's side). He ought to have limited the danger by keeping the
business related to grants of machinery to the proprietor's side.
 There was one sided blame of plant and machinery manager since he chose the
cathead tower crane which breached the tallness limitation. He ought to have thought
about this from beginning of the task and ought to have made necessary
arrangements and chosen cathead less tower crane.
 the project manager is liable for to over two divisions likewise his group had
presented an arrangement showing the situation of the Tower Crane with no going
with elevation details to observe the height of the crane. This arrangement was
named "tentative Tower Crane Locations". However, further his team never
presented a point by point plan showing the tallness of the crane. So hence project
supervisor can likewise be accused.
