EXPLANATION FOR PROJECTS WITH SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND CURRENT ESTIMATE INFORMATION
2. Bath Redevelopment
Time Performance—The construction start
on site was delayed to April 1998, one year later than originally
planned. This delay has resulted in a revised completion date
of April 2001, which represents a time overrun of 13.9 per cent
on the original completion date.
3. Royal Cornwall Treliske
Time Performance—A five month delay to
the original completion date is currently forecast, with completion
now expected in August 1998. The Trust report that four months
of this delay is due to poor contractor/consultant performance,
with a further month due to estimating changes.
4. Warrington
Time Performance—The estimated completion
date slipped because of a delay in awarding the contract due to
client variations, plus a predicted 6-8 week slippage in construction
works due to inclement weather and ground conditions.
5. Royal Sussex County Hospital
Time Performance—This project consists
of 16 separate building contracts and the resequencing of a number
of these has contributed to the overall completion date being
delayed by two years. This represents a time overrun of 75.4 per
cent on the original completion date.
6. Bristol Royal for Sick Children
Time Performance—The construction start
on site was delayed by three months due to inclement weather and
statutory authorities. This, along with a delay in the tender
process for the main contract works, has resulted in a delay of
14 months to the original completion date.
Cost Performance—A cost overrun of 16.81
per cent is currently forecast, the original estimate of expenditure
of £21.93 million increasing to the current estimate of £25.62
million. The majority of this variation is attributed to design
changes and external factors.
7. Sunderland Scheme 3
Time Performance—The construction start
on site has been delayed, and is now forecast for June 1998, over
ten months later than originally planned. This is due to the Architect,
who was acting as lead consultant on this project, having their
commission terminated. This delay has resulted in a revised completion
date of March 2000, representing a time overun of 44.8 per cent
on the original completion date.
