ABSTRACT
Construction Management is a Science as well as an Art, forming the back bone of

Construction Industry. Every Construction Project involves variety of activities which needs to be
managed and harmonized properly in a way to ensure successful completion and attaining
proposed deliverables of the Project within stipulated time frame.
The study of a real time Project(100 BOQs at MCE Risalpur) was chosen , studied and analyzed
to apply first hand Civil Engineering knowledge at UG level. The study revolve around study
analysis of Structural design, Geo Tech Analysis, Planning and Scheduling techniques using
latest software and Project Monitoring & Control.
In this process an on ground Construction Plan and Scheduling will be prepared for building
Construction of 100 BOQs by inserting pegs of various activities as and when they terminated.
Then to compare it with proposed Project Schedule. This contrast would indeed help to understand
the importance of Construction Project Management in a real time scenario, difficulties involved,
delay causing factors and further leading the students to arrive at some definite and practical
recommendations/solutions for timely execution of Projects within stipulated time frame. That
surely have obvious economic impacts.

LITRATURE REVIEW
2.1 Definition of project
“A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or

result. The temporary nature of projects indicates a definite beginning and end. The end is reached
when the project’s objectives have been achieved or when the project is terminated because its
objectives will not or cannot be met, or when the need for the project no longer exists.” (PMBOK
4th Ed).
A project is temporary in that it has well-defined start and end in time, and therefore clear scope
and resources.
A Project has:
a. Set of Activities
b. Particular Objective
c. Deliverable (s) / Product (s)
d. Start and Finish Dates (Duration)
e. Price
f. Necessities
g. Conformance to Standards
2.2 The project Life cycle

A project life cycle is basically overall life starting from planning till the close out stage. It
includes different stages through which project passes like planning, designing, execution and
handing over to the client.
Every project passes through a fixed definite procedure which can be seen as below.

Fig 2.1 - Project life cycle
2.3 Project Management
“Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to

project activities to meet the project requirements” (PMBOK4, PMI, USA).
Project management can be explained through following figure.
5
Fig 2.2 - Project Phases
The main challenge of project management is to attain all the aims while keeping in mind
any kind of limitations. The main limitations are scope, time, quality and budget.
2.3.1 Managing a project usually includes

a. Fulfilling several needs, wishes, and expectations of the stakeholders.
b. Balancing the challenging project constraints comprising, but not limited to:
1. .Scope
2. .Quality
3. .Schedule
4. .Budget
5. .Resources

2.4 Project Planning

Project Planning could be defined as selecting and adopting all the possible measures for a
project completion.
PMI defined as:
‘‘Those processes performed to establish the total scope of the effort, deﬁne and reﬁne the
objectives, and develop the course of action required to acquire those objectives’’.
2.5 Planning Process
Following are the successive steps for planning a construction project or any project:
a. Developing Project Management Plan
8
It organize, integrate and bring all the necessary primary and secondary plans. It provide
information for how the project can be completed without compromising all the necessities.
b. Generating Work breakdown structure
This is the method of splitting project works into smaller, more manageable components.
c. Defining Activities
This define the actions which give us important deliverables.
d. Sequence Activities
This includes the necessary relations amongst different activities to perform in an organize
manner.
e. Estimating activity resources

This technique can be used to identify the quantity and type of material, equipment and
people in order to complete the tasks.
f. Estimating activity durations

This defines the time to complete an activity keeping in mind the available resources. The
unit of time used normally in hours or days but it should remain same.
g. Developing schedule
This is the process of analyzing activity sequences, durations, resource requirements, and
schedule limitations to create the project schedule.
h. Estimating costs
It defines the cost required for a task to be completed.
i. Develop human resource Plan

This defines advertisement, hiring, training, assigning responsibilities, performance
appraisal, transfer and firing out of the people in an organization.
j. Plan risk management

This is the process of describing how to carry out risk management activities for a project.

2.6 Delay
Delay is very critical factor in any construction project because it increases the total cost
of the project. If a project is completed on time then it will benefit all the stakeholders in terms of
time and money. Therefore it is very important to identify those major factors which are
responsible for delay in construction projects. Late completion of construction projects is very
common in many developing countries. Time is very critical factor for every plan that a company
is trying to implement. There is a relationship between project time allotted, scope of project and
conditions at which project is undertaken. A very minute change in any of areas affects the overall
efficiency of the project. Time overrun is considered as cost causing factor for owner as well as
for contractor. In case of delay in construction of any project owner lose the revenue and contractor
loses the opportunity of attracting more tenders because of engaged in already ongoing project.
Public also suffer due to delay in construction of public sector projects. If project is failed to
complete on time then automatically its cost increases from closing bid cost. Time is very critical
resource and it should be managed before the start of the project. Time overrun and its impacts is
considered as one of the important factor in construction industry of Pakistan. inefficient contract
management, impractical scheduling, a little financing by client, delay in payments, design
amendments through construction, and non-availability of construction material materials like
cement and steel. The issue had also been found as of equal importance in Arab countries. Assaf,
et al., conducted a study in construction industry of Pakistan and reported critical causes of delay
related to contractor, constructor and client in large building projects. They further classified the
causes into nine divergent clusters like financing, materials, contract relationships, government
relations, manpower, scheduling and control, equipment, and environment. Later on, El-Razek, et
al., used these causes and revise the lists of delay causes with respect to the Egyptian construction
industry. They further emphasized the important role of consultants and payment by owner in
reducing the delays in large construction projects.
Delays in construction industry have also been a matter of great concern in Pakistan. However,
only two researches have been conducted for classifying the causes of delay in construction
industry of Pakistan. Shaikh, et al., introduced a theoretical framework by analyzing the previous
studies highlighting the client, contractor, general and resource related problems are key factors
causing delay in construction industry. In the same vein, Haseeb, et al., concluded in their study
that the most important and highly ranked causes are related to financial matters causing delays in
10
Pakistani construction industry. They further elaborated and identified the delays like delay in
payment to supplier, inadequate fund allocation, inflation and monthly payment problems.
However, there is need to identify the client, contractor, consultant, material, equipment, labor
related and general factors causing delay in project execution.
2.7 Factors Causing Delay in Project Execution
2.7.1 Contractor related factors

Many researchers have put their efforts to find out the factors related to contractor that
causing delay. According to Sambasivan and Soon, these can be controlled by proper planning by
contractor, efficient site management and adequate experience of the contractor. Similarly, Yaw
Frimpong and Oluwoye also have the same view point regarding factors related to contractor.
Odeh and Battaineh concluded from their studies that these major issues can be controlled by
proper site management, avoiding sub-contractors, proper planning and sufficient experience of
the contractor.
2.7.2 Client related factors

Many researchers have put their efforts in this field as well. According to Mezher in
Lebanon, financial problem are more important for the client. Clients just love to have prime
contractor ship in order to have all the risk related to schedule delay and other liquidated damages
on the part of contractor. According to Al-Hazmi client approval is also the major cause of delay
in the construction projects. Al- Khalil and Al-Ghafly slow decision making by the client showing
the technical inexpertness is one of the causes of delay.
2.7.3 Consultant related factors

According to Assaf and Al-Hejji, it is the consultant point of view that most of the time
project delayed due to lack of planning by the contractor, lack of site management, poor payment
procedure by the client and non-availability of equipment and material.
Haseeb et al., say that the variation of drawing, consultants inefficiency, improper investigation of
site, contract management, and late action and visit of site are the major issues related to consultant.
Wong and Vimonsatit identified that consultant should be well aware of site condition and
execution of construction methods.
11
2.7.4 Material related factors
Material is very important factor if we talk about construction project. A number of
people have put their efforts in this field. On time provision of material has got high
importance in construction project. Sambasivan and Soon identified that material quality
and insufficiency are the factors which causes delay. Koushki and Kartam studied that
material selection has got huge importance in construction industry.

ESTIMATION OF 100 BOQS CIVIL WORKS
4.1 Definition
Estimation is the process in which we determine the probable construction costs of any
type of project.
Estimating is the scientific way of working out the approximate cost of a building or an engineering
project. It is the process of determining the financial feasibility of any project and its further
enhancement is framing the tender work and calculation of Bid prices.
4.2 Types of Estimates
ESTIMATES
Conceptual Preliminary Detailed
4.3 Estimation Methods

Methods of estimating can be divided into two main categories:
a. Preliminary/Guess estimating methods
b. Detailed estimating methods
22
4.3.1 Preliminary estimates
These estimates are used in the early stages of a project to provide at least a rough estimate
of the construction cost at a time when there is no detailed information available about the nature
of the proposed project. The preliminary estimating includes:-
Price per Unit Area Estimates
They are also called Plinth Area/Square-Foot Area Estimates. Per Unit Area Estimates are
prepared by multiplying the plinth area with cost per square foot of any project. Further the prices
are adjusted to compensate for variation in building project like location, orientation, storey,
height, specifications.
a. Price Per Unit Estimates

The price per unit method of estimating is used on multi-unit projects. It is usually adopted for the
projects that are already being executed. After completing an apartment building, for example, the
analyst would divide the construction cost of the new building by number of suites it contains to
determine the cost per suite. This unit price can then be used as a guide to price future apartment
projects by multiplying the number of suites in the proposed facility by this unit price per suite.
b. Project Comparison Estimates

Project comparison estimates are prepared by comparing the cost of a proposed project to a
completed project. When preparing an estimate using this method, the estimator starts with the
costs of a comparable project and then makes adjustments for differences in the project.
c. Per Capita/Unit Basis Estimates

It consists in working out the approximate cost of a building based on the units of the users.It is
very approximate and seldom used in practice except for mere discussion on the project as it has a
number of limitations.
d. Cubical Contents Estimates

It consists in working the cubic contents of a building and then applying to it the rate per cubic
meter.
e. Assembly Estimating
If the assembly (instead estimating each of the individual components of the project, the estimates
of the components in groups known as assemblies are made) price comes from previously
completed projects, it is estimated with the assumption that this project is identical to on ground
executed project.
4.3.2 Detailed Estimating Method

The detailed estimating method, produce a very accurate budget of a project. This method
is used for bid preparation all over the building industry. The basic theory behind the detailed
23
estimating method is taking off all the quantities from complete design specifications and then get
a complete picture of accurate construction cost involved in the project. Because of this
requirement and also because detailed estimating is such a time taking procedure.
Whether prepared by hand, by computer spreadsheet, or by means of a totally computerized
system, a detailed estimate can be analyzed in terms of six distinct procedures
1. Quantity Takeoff: The activity or work to be executed by the contractor is measured in

terms of standards for measurement.
2. Recap Quantities: The amounts of work taken off are sorted and leaned to consent to the
exchange breakdown to encourage the procedure of evaluating.
3. Pricing the Recap: Costs for the required work, gear, and materials are entered against
the amounts to decide the evaluated expense of the manufacturer's own particular work.
4. Pricing Subcontractor’s Work: Costs are acquired from contending sub exchanges who
quote to perform the work of their exchange then, as a rule, the most minimal offer from
every exchange is gone into the assessment.
5. Pricing General Expenses

It includes all the anticipated overheads for a project.
6. Summary
All the estimated prices are summarized and the contractor’s markup is added.
4.4 Quantity Estimation of 100 BOQs

Estimation of 100 BOQs is done in two phases

SCHEDULING ON PRIMAVERA P6
5.1 Scheduling
Scheduling is determination of timing of events in the project i.e., When tasks will be
performed? Simply, it’s a reflection of plan.
5.1 Why Schedule Project?
a. To determine project starting date.

b. To find out the total duration of the project.
c. To know about starting or finishing date of any activity.
d. To cater for the change order quickly and on time.
e. To have an effective control over all the project execution phase
f. To increase the output
5.2 The Tripod of Good Scheduling System

a. The Human Factor: All the team members who are working efficiently.
b. The Technology: It include all the effective hardware and software.
c. The Management: An effective, responsible and cooperative management.
5.3 Types of Project Schedules

a. Gantt Charts
b. Network Scheduling
c. PERT Network Scheduling
5.4 Critical Path Logic Diagram
The critical path logic diagram shows a logical interface between schedule activities. It is
also called PERT chart; that is Programmed Evaluation Review Technique. In this each activity
30
can be shown through a box. The activities and their precedence combined to form precedence
network.
5.5 CPM Scheduling
Critical Path Method Scheduling is based on Critical Path Method (CPM) which can be
defined as "The Calculation of the earliest and latest start and finish dates of activities based
on their durations and relationship to other activities" CPM Calculations overview:
a. The calculation of early start and finish date, and latest start and finishing date for
each activity.
b. Early dates mean an activity can be start and finish as early as possible if all the
predecessor activities are completed.
c. Late dates mean an activity can be start and finish as late as possible without
delaying the succeeding activities.
5.6 Types of float
a) Total Float
b) Free Float
a) Total Float
It can be found either by subtracting the early finish date from the late finish date or by
subtracting the early start date from late start date.
TF= LF-EF
TF= LS-ES
An activity that has zero total float is a critical activity. An activity’s start may be critical
even though an activity itself may not be critical.
b) Free Float
Free float is the difference between an activity’s early finish time and early start time for
any succeeding activity.
FF= EF-ES (next activity)
The free float of an activity is an amount by which that activity can be delayed without delaying
the early start of any following activity or any other activity in the network.
31
5.7 Project planning software
A number of soft wares are available in market which professionals & engineers use to
manage project and plan the project. These soft wares use a variety of paths to determine the critical
path of the project. These allow professional users and engineers to control the overall cost &
budget of the project. Most commonly used software for project planning is Primavera P6.
5.7.1 Primavera Project Planner P6

Primavera is a very useful software for managing any type of project whether it is a
construction project or not. It can perform multiple task for a project manager like planning,
scheduling, updating everyday progress work and overall control of project.
While working in Primavera P6, following procedure should be followed.
a. Defining the Calendars
b. Enterprise Project Structure(EPS)
c. Organizational Breakdown Structure(OBS)
d. Defining a project
e. Work Breakdown Structure(WBS)
f. Adding Activities in Primavera P6
g. Understanding Relationships
h. Understanding Lags and Leads
i. Resources
5.8 Planning and Scheduling of 100 BOQs
The study of a real time Project (100 BOQs at MCE Risalpur) was chosen , studied and
analyzed to apply first hand Civil Engineering knowledge at UG level. The study revolve around
Planning and Scheduling techniques using latest software and Project Monitoring & Control.
In this process an on ground Construction Plan and Scheduling will be prepared for building
Construction of 100 BOQs by inserting pegs of various activities as and when they terminated.
Then to compare it with proposed Project Schedule. This contrast would indeed help to understand
the importance of Construction Project Management in a real time scenario, difficulties involved,
delay causing factors and further leading the students to arrive at some definite and practical
32
recommendations/solutions for timely execution of Projects within stipulated time frame. That
surely have obvious economic impacts.
While Planning and scheduling for real time Project we used following sequence
5.8.1 Defining the Calendars

You have to define a calendar before entering activities in Primavera. For 100 BOQs
a calendar by the name of “100 BOQs 7d/week” was defined, in which there were 7 days
work per week @ 8 hours work per day.
5.8.2 Creating a New Global or Project Calendar

A project must be in .active state to create a Project Calendar. You can create a new
Project Calendar by copying an existing Global Calendar.
Fig 5.1 – Global Calendar
33
Fig 5.2 – Global Calendar
5.8.3 Enterprise Project Structure (EPS)

EPS shows a hierarchy of departments in an organization. .The EPS can be subdivided into as
many levels or nodes as needed to parallel work at your organization. Nodes at the highest, or root,
level might represent divisions within your company, project phases, site locations, or other major
groupings that meet the needs of your organization. Projects always represent the lowest level of
the hierarchy.
For EPS go to Enterprise and select EPS

34
Fig 5.3 - Table View of EPS
35
Fig 5.4 - Chart view of EPS
5.8.4 Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS)

OBS shows a hierarchical order of responsible managers for different departments in an
organization. The OBS usually reflects the management structure of your organization, from top-
level personnel down through all levels.
OBS for both, the Planned and actual Schedule will remain same.
36
Fig 5.5 - Table View of OBS
37
Fig 5.6 - Chart View of OBS
5.8.5 How to Create a Project?

In this study as mentioned earlier, two projects has been Scheduled. The first one is actual
project executed by MES on ground completed within duration of 18 months. The later one is our
planned Scheduled Project whom duration we want to find.
38
Fig 5.7 - Project of 100 BOQs
5.8.6 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The work breakdown structure (WBS) is used to provide the framework for organizing &
managing the work. The WBS helps break thousands of tasks into pieces that we can understand
& assimilate. WBS is also used to track costs related to various activities.
WBS for both Planned and actual Scheduled Projects will remain same.
39
Fig 5.8 - Table view of WBS
40
Fig 5.9 - Chart view of WBS
5.8.7 Adding Activities of 100 BOQs in Primavera P6

An activity is a single work entity that has a known beginning and end. Activities are time
consuming as well as it requires some resources for its completion. For 100 BOQs activities were
defined by discussing it with MES staff, field personnel and studying different research papers.
41
5.8.8 Activity Types and Milestones
An Activity may be assigned one of the following default Activity Types using the drop
down box in the Project Defaults tab:
a. Finish Milestone
b. Level of Effort
c. Start Milestone
d. Task Dependent
e. WBS Summary
5.8.9 Activities of Actual Scheduled Project

We were able to collect WBS based duration of 100 BOQs from MES office Risalpur as
they did not have exact date and duration for each activity performed. Each WBS duration was
subdivided into different activities contained in that WBS using “Three time Estimating
Technique”.
The following are activities of actual Project
42
Fig 5.10 - Table view of Activities of 100 BOQs
43
Fig 5.11 - Table view of Activities of 100 BOQs
Fig 5.12 - Gantt chart view of Activities
44
5.8.10 Assigning Relationships
There are four types of dependencies available in Primavera P6. We will be defining only two of
them.
a. Finish-to-Start (FS) (also known as conventional): The successor activity can begin
only when the predecessor activity completes.
b. Start-to-Start (SS): In this both the activities can start simultaneously but with
certain amount of lag between them.
5.8.11 Understanding Lags and Leads

A Lag is a duration that is applied to a dependency to make the successor start or finish
earlier or later. A successor activity will start later when a positive Lag is assigned. On the other
hand lead is also called negative lag where an activity can be started before successor activity.
Leads and Lags may be applied to any relationship type.
5.8.12 Resources
Resources are all those requirements which need for the fulfillment of any task or activity. It
comes in three flavor in P6.
a. Labor (personnel)
b. Non-labor (Equipment)
c. Material
5.9 Scheduling of Project
After assigning relationship to each activity, the project was scheduled and the following
deductions have been made.
a. The start date of the actual Scheduled project is 16 April, 2013.
b. The project Finished date is 16 October, 2014
c. Actual duration of the Project is 18 months
Hence the Project has a time overruns of six months
5.9.1 Activities of Planned Scheduled Project

Activities for the Planned Scheduled Project remained same, and the duration each activity was
assigned using concept of Task or Out-turn work.
45
5.9.2 Task or Out-Turn work
The capacity of doing work by a skilled labor in the form of quantity of work per day is
known as the task-work or out-turn of the labor.
The out-turn of work per labor varies to some extent according to the nature, size, height, situation,
location, etc. In developed areas the out-turn of a skilled labor is more as compared to small
villages. Labor quantity also depends upon by managing and organizing the labor force.
The following may be taken as the approximate quantity of work or out-turn or task for an average
labor per day taken from a book “Estimating and Costing” by Dutta’s.
46

Fig 5.16 - Gantt chart view of Planned Activities
5.9.3 Scheduling of Planned Project

Similarly the relationship and resources were assigned to the Planned Project, and Scheduled
accordingly. The following deductions were made.
a. The starting date of the Planned Project remains the same i-e 16 April, 2013.
b. The Project finished on 15 April, 2014
c. Hence total duration of the project is 364 days which is the contractual period of the Project
52
5.10 Comparison of the project at WBS level
In order to identify the areas where time overruns occurred during actual project execution,
a comparison at WBS level is performed between actual Scheduled and Planned Scheduled Project
using MS Project.

Chapter 6
IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF CAUSES OF DELAY
OF 100 BOQS
6.1 Introduction
The term delay is the time overrun in a construction of particular project beyond its
completion date written in a contract, or beyond the date that is given as contingency in terms of
time for delivery of a project. It is very common problem in construction projects. For delay in
construction of particular facility owner losses the revenue and rent if we are talking about present
constructed facility. In some cases, the contractor, has higher overhead costs because of long work
duration at same project, high material costs due to inflation, and high labor costs.
Despite of the fact that delay causes serious problems, construction industry simply ignores this
aspect in construction projects and only adds compensation for that in terms of contingency. This
delay factor is very high in construction projects of developing countries where time overruns
sometimes exceed 100% of the actual time of the project.
In Pakistan, construction industry is an important industry although this industry is not working to
its full potential but still it is very significant to the country’s development. Development in this
industry is critical for increase in national income as it is among the largest employment generating
sectors of country as well as a key driving force for economic development of Pakistan. Like many
other countries Pakistan is also facing very much issues in construction industry among which
delay in projects completion is quite important one. There are many factors that are responsible
for these delays.
6.2 Information about 100 BOQs

100 BOQs is a residential type of building, and its Construction was executed by MES
Army Risalpur Cantonment. It is located on Liaqat road Risalpur Cantonment. The contract was
awarded to M/S Ch Abdul Ghaffar and CO. It was supposed to be completed within time of one
year and budget of 100 million (approx.). But the project failed to achieve its objective due to
both time and cost overrun. The Project completed within one year and six months of duration
and the total cost reached to 110 million.
For identification and evaluation the causes of delay of 100 BOQs a interviews were conducted
in which a targeted sample of 15 stakeholders including management staff and supervisory staff
from client/Consultant, Monitoring team and Contractors were selected and interviewed
accordingly.

The studies include to find out main problem involved in time overrun in construction
project of 100 BOQs in Risalpur Cantonment. In this regard 14 major areas were identified
where probable delay could occur.
They are
6.4 Factors identified affecting “Time Overruns” in 100 BOQs Risalpur

Cantonment.
1. Feasibility Study of the Project
2. Scope and Planning Related time overruns
3. Design / Drawing Related time overruns

12. Quality Related time overruns
13. Weather / Hazards Related time overruns
14. Government Related time overruns
6.5 Questionnaire Design

A questionnaire consist of 59 factors of delays was developed in order to collect the data
and assess the reviews of different stakeholders involved in the construction process of 100 BOQs
Risalpur Cantonment, for the evaluation purpose of repeated occurrence and significance of the
main causes. We divided the questionnaire sample into two parts. In first part, we included the
information about the stakeholders. In second part, we included those factors which were very
frequent and important in construction delay of particular projects. First we met with key
stakeholders which were involved in the construction of 100 BOQs and explained the whole
situation and then we interviewed each stakeholder and filled the questionnaire.
The format of questionnaire is given in appendix
6.6 Analysis of Data

We applied a basic rule of getting average of the whole response from each stakeholder for
every factor to find out the relative impact of each factor that explains how much every factor is
contributing to delay in whole project. We adopted a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly
agree) and then for each factor an impact was found by using following relation.
∑( 𝒇𝒊 ∗ 𝒊)
𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 =
𝒏
58
In this relation
i is the extent score from 1 to 5 (1=strongly disagree, 2=Disagree , 3=Neither agree nor
Disagree, 4= Agree, 5= Strongly Agree)
f i is the frequency of factor getting score i
n = number of responses from the stakeholders
By performing these calculation 15 total factors were got responsible for causing delay in
construction of 100 BOQs. The table given below shows impact of resultant factor

6.8 Recommendations
1. Design and drawing variation

Modeling should be done using architecture/Design Software .Design and Specifications
should be agreed upon by each party in initial phase
2. Slow Decision Making by the Client

Contractor and Client/Consultant should work as a team so that both of them are actively
involved in the project and take quick decision where required.
3. Approval of variation orders

Proper Planning should be made so that there will be no variation in orders later in execution
of Project .But in case if there are some variations , then they should be documented and
approved as quickly as possible to avoid delay in planned construction activities.
4. Change in Specification of Material during Construction

Material specification should be decided in the initial phase and should not be changed later
on.
5. Adverse effects of weather

Risk management plan should be made in the early course before the execution of project.
6. Inadequate Quality
Proper Supervision and Time to time visits by the Consultant on every single activity during
execution should be done to insure Quality management.
7. Fluctuating Prices of Raw material

Risk Management Plan and activity Reserves should be made THOUGHT OUT in the initial
planning.
8. Lack of Co-ordination between Design Team and contractor

Contractor should be actively involved from the start of project with full dedication and
conviction to have strong mutual co-ordination with design team.
9. Misinterpretation of Drawings
Contractor should be competent enough to undertake such projects. Misinterpretation of
drawing would not tolerated
10. Inaccurate duration of contract period

Proper Scheduling should be done on some Software especially Primavera P6 to get a realistic
picture of Total Project Duration which would help a lot during contact formulation
