Acceleration Schedule Vs Recovery Schedule

Could someone in this forum clearly explain me the signicantdierences between Acceleration & Recovery Schedules !hether itwill create a room to Claim additional money from Client due to loss of

time"Acceleration Schedule and or Recovery Schedule is somewhat related in context.When you say acceleration schedule you are in the process of completing theproject earlier than the baseline by making , this could apply whether the projectis delayed or not. or Recovery schedule the basic meaning itself suggest thatwe need to get back on track in relation with the baseline schedule, or in can becalled accelerated schedule also cause you have to work on a shorter timeperiod that the orginal to get back on track. Whether recovery or accelaratedschedule, there is always additional resources !money, materials,men "machines# involve for the program to take e$ect, cause %ime is inverselyproportional with cost.

 %he very broad distinction, & would make is that Acceleration schedule is at clientcost to 'nish the project earlier, whilst a recovery schedule is at contractor costto recover lost time. (ery broad and very dependant on the project and contractterms. )%).

 *eah, & agree with Steven. Acceleration programme is for when the client hascaused a delay which the contractor is trying to recover for them, a recoveryprogramme is when the contractor has caused the delay itself and is trying to

recover. Acceleration will give cause for a 'nancial claim, recovery won+t..

 %he topic is uiet interesting really, What i feel, Acceleartion means, to completethe job at any cost in time to meet the dateline. %he uestion arises here is Whocaused the delay- &f the delay is caused by lient, ontractor will submit /0%Schedule, to avoid this kind of thing, the lient only can reuest the ontractorto accelerate the job. so i feel Acceleration Schedule is usually prepared at thereuest of clients, but i+ve no idea whether they will pay any extra money to thecontractor11 in order to accelerate the job!anyhow it depends on the mutualagreement as per the project contract#. Also i feel Recovery Schedule is to

recover from the loss of time. Again the uestion arises, who caused the loss oftime- this time by the ontractor. so client will reuest contractor to preparerecovery schedule, therefore the contractor has to bring more resources!of2course based on the remaining bugetted man2hrs#to complete the job in time. 0f course, & feel we can+t claim anymoney in the recovery schedule due tocontracor+s delay. So i feel both the terms are used against the contractors bythe client. lient only can say the contractor to Accelerate the job, )enceAcceleartion schedule is prepared due to lient+s reuest!& feel most of the time

this kind of schedule is prepared due to client+s delay# and &f the ontractordelays the job, lient will instruct the contractor to recover the loss of time,hence ontractor has to prepare and submit the recovery schedule.

3uys, & can+t agree with you that the title of a Schedule represents the partyresponsible for the delay caused. & have seen Acceleration Schedules imposedon ontractors by the lient4/mployer simply because the ontractor himselfwas delayed by his own failures and unable to schedule the project properly. &have also seen !and been involved in# Recovery Schedules put forward byontractors when they have su$ered from delays caused by the lient4/mployerand where they do not want to delay the schedule and get hit !unfairly# for 56+s.Such a Recovery Schedule represents onstructive Acceleration. & was involvedin a project in 7ra8il last year, where the ontractor prepared a 9)ush :lan9. &twasn+t until a couple of weeks after my arrival in 7ra8il that & discovered that anumber of 7ra8ilians cannot pronounce the letter 9R9 and instead use the letter

9)9. onseuently, what & thought had been a very con'dental schedule, was infact a 9Rush :lan9 for recovery of the project. ;2#. %o reply to the originaluestion, & don+t think that it matters as to what you call the Schedule, the maincriteria for claiming extra time and money is down to your entitlement under theontract and having an excusable delay.

6ear All, & have been asked to do Recovery schedule for the old schedule wesubmitted before <=< days and not started yet. So, to do new one do & need toupdate data date and change duration to keep same 'nish date- :lease, giveme some advises.
