Project scheduling and delay recovery - field note 057

Unexpected monsoon delays hit the 10‑storey residential project in Pune, pushing the finish date by 12 weeks. We drafted an 8‑week recovery plan that leveraged night shifts and subcontractor overtime.

• Added two night shift crews for critical concrete pours.
• Re‑scoped non‑critical activities to run concurrently.
• Engaged a specialist contractor for fast‑track façade installation.
• Negotiated a revised payment schedule to keep cash flow steady.

8‑Week Recovery Plan brought the project back on track with only a 4% cost impact.
