Some of the measures, a PM could take, include:
- Monitor changes to the schedule with extra care and at frequent intervals. Always utilize change orders and written extensions to permit delays, and allow for modifications to extend time in the contract documents.
Monitoring will help readjust scheduling to meet the deadline. If a project should fall irretrievably behind schedule, monitoring will help predict the delay and bring it to the owner’s attention in time to modify the agreement to extend the time for completion.
In addition, each written change order will give the owner notice that the change will delay the project. That notification may avoid disputes (or strengthen your position in case a dispute arises), serving as a record that the owner agreed to a later completion date.
Beforethe project beginning, ensure that the contract provides for extensions of time to complete the project for added work, weather delays and other obstacles beyond your control.
