Answered: NEC3 ECC: Revised programmes

I would agree with the Project Manager that submitting a programme with the only actual data being two weeks old is far too long. If I was that Contractor I would be expecting to bring everything up to date on the date of submission. This can be done progressively during the month so does not need to be a big update on the day of submission.

I would not accept it for one of two reasons - doesn't reflect the Contractors plans realistically (if progress has not been what the programme shows in past two weeks) or that it doesn't show the information requires. Clause 32.1 requires that the Contractor shows actual progress achieved and the effects upon the remaining works - which the Contractor is unlikely to be doing here for the last two weeks worth of activities (unless everything is going to plan).

Big issue for a Contractor to not have a regularly accepted programme - so they should do what ever it takes to get that programme accepted, and I don't think the PM  is being unreasonable here.

In future you could state in Works Information that the Contractor has to submit a programme with a data date (progress date) the same date as submission which would avoid any misconception on the Contractors part of their obligations/expectations.
