How do I link RFIs and variations to programme delays?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Link RFIs and variations to programme delays by documenting the impact each has on the schedule. Clearly state how delays arise from responses to RFIs or changes from variations. Use the programme to track these impacts, showing adjustments to critical paths or milestones.
Key points
- Document the impact of RFIs on the schedule.
- Record how variations affect completion dates.
- Use the programme to adjust timelines.
When an RFI causes a delay, note the response time and how it affects your work. For variations, detail the scope change and its impact on milestones. Keeping this clear helps manage expectations with the client and subcontractors.
