ABSTRACT
Most of the loss can be avoided if certain basic routines are consistently maintained, and monitored, from day one to final handover. The following routines should be operated in a spirit of co-operation, and willingness to look for solutions to problems. Confirm start and completion dates for the job and for each section or area. Record date and origin of all programmes and revisions. ecognise and notify variations and claim situations ASAP and submit details. Make sure all instructions are in writing and don't work without instructions. Apply for extension of time as soon as any delay appears likely. Keep good records of everything e.g. names, activity worked on and key events.
