abstract:Construction delays in residential and light construction are often the result of miscommunication between contractors, subcontractors, and property owners. These types of misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations are usually avoided through the use of detailed critical path schedules, which specify the work, and timetable to be used, but most importantly, the logical sequence of events which must occur for a project to be completed.
As of the costs caused byearthquakeorfloodduringconstruction, fourkinds oflosses are considered, they are: economic losses, casualties, constructiondelay and environmentalimpact.
The proposed plan would retire seven cruisers early, delayconstruction of the next large-deck amphibious warfare ship by one year, cancel the second Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) in 2014, delayconstruction of two smaller amphibious warfare ships, and reduce procurement of littoral combat ships by two and joint high speed vessels by eight.
Despite these considerations, some observers believe the Navy is under so much pressure to save money in the near term that it will delayconstruction of the second Ford-class carrier by two years.
