This video will be about daily progress report or DPA, so I'll be explaining this with a template that
was used in one of my projects when I was working in.
So let's understand what was so mainly it was used to monitor the daily work progress.
So while monitoring, we are able to record the work details, the manpower that was used to carry out
that particular work, the materials used for that particular work, the equipment and machines used
for that particular work.
So this is the main use of a DPA.
It can also be used to calculate the work efficiency.
So we're seeing the daily progress report.
You can understand how many people or how many manpower has been used to carry a particular quantity
of wealth management can understand if it is enough or if the manpower needs to be increased or decreased,
the workers efficiency and the team so the supervisors efficiency can be understood by this employee.
And it can also be helpful for preparing your interim payment application, especially for item contracts
if lump-sum contractors, mainly your interim payment applications, are prepared based on a percentage
every month.
You can understand what work has been carried out and what percentage of work has been carried out for
your buku quantities already fixed.
If there is any increase, then it goes into a variation.
But in an attempted contract you have to give approval for substantiation for each quantity that is
being claimed in your interim payment application.
So, for example, in your project, there might be different teams, there might be different engineers
and eating dinner might be having different supervisors under him.
And each supervisor will be having a set of teams under a foreman electrician.
Bloomburg, each team will be doing a particular work in different areas.
So you can get an idea of what work has been carried out by each team using this beeper.
So when I was working in my my first work, I mean, my first project was an oil and gas project.
So it was a very, very robust project and it was an attempted contract.
There were a lot of items in the queue.
So it was difficult to go to the site and do a taking of what the work is being carried out.
So this BPR was very useful for me to repair the monthly payment applications that I used to do as I
used to collect all the part of all the team that andree's engineer and I used to make a recording of
each day's work.
And at the end of the month I used to get an idea of the cumulative amount of work for the countable
items.
It is easy for countable items.
There might be a tag number, so you can easily understand there will not be a repetition or duplication
of your claims.
You will understand what all equipment or countable items has been installed at site.
The major problem was for the linear items like the items whose quantity has been calculated in meters
or square meters.
For example, the cabling or the pipeline cable trace.
These quantities was difficult to substantiate.
If you were going to site and just doing so with this BPR, all this detail where the work has been
carried out, how much the quantity has been carried out, as I mentioned.
So by the end of the month I could understand, like in each area, how much the work has been carried
out.
And with that using a drawing, I could just see that area and do a markup of the drawings and then
submitted as substantiation with my interim payment application to the client from the seat.
It was easy for the planning department also to understand how much Manolo's has been utilized.
Still, what are the equipments and the different plan or machinery's the hours you still need to.
So it was useful for the planning department also to show you the template which I used in my project
so that you can get a better understanding.
This is a template that I used in that project.
Here you have all your company, name, project, name, project, location, the job number.
So each day you need to be prepared by which engineer or supervisor the work details.
Then again, if there is a general location here, also there is for each location, there might be
a team doing some work in different locations.
So you can mention that each separate locations, then the manpower utilization, the equipment machinery
plan utilization, the material used to with this see it.
And I get daily, I could record the works of each day.
I used to spend some time for recording all the DPA that I used to get from the different team.
And then at the end of the month, I used to get that completely amount of work done and use it to mark
up the drawings and then submit the payment application to the plan.
So just give an example.
I'm not feeling of these details.
So here ifone maybe on 1st 2021, prepared by a paper work was electrical, maybe electrical, cable
installation or type of work.
And the candidates mentioned what the general thing you can mention, but an electrical type of work.
So this team.
Of a decade military installation work to contain Stallworth's maybe 50 meters, so tag number is not
required here.
If it is an equipment or accountable item, you can mention your tag number, location was not planned
or something like that.
So, again, they installed a panel installation of installed one just one panel who can give a tag
number of that panel.
One, two, three, four.
That was in the Southeast.
And then here you can just mention the manpower used electrician.
There were three people used to see electricians, tag team eight, maybe eight a.m. to four p.m. just
need to make the format trades, the total number of hours, eight hours in areas before cable installation.
It was eight people to know this plant.
And again, electrician, two numbers were used the same time this was used in this plant for the installation
of.
So you get your manpower details here, then the equipment, machinery, plant details.
So just change you.
Manpower does not just mention the equipment, machinery, plant details.
You can just mention just for example, GCB was used when no generator was used or some vehicle was
used, just that timing.
So you can just mention here told us what this plant and the materials will be installed.
Cable to cable, 350 meters was installed.
And the panel, these were the materials that was used for no panel was installed once the work was
completed.
So boys will be filling up the details and the next day they will get the design from they will sign
here and they will get the design from the consultant and client representative.
So this is kind of this becomes an official document.
So this is for first February.
Every contract has a cutoff date for submitting the invoice.
So, for example, if it is the every month first week, so you collect all your paper from first to
28 zip and then you make a cumulative sheet.
So you'll understand in that month what works have been carried out and all your sheets will be officially
signed off by the client.
And that will be one document for your interim payment application.
Then you'll need to highlight in the drawings also each item.
And with that you can easily claim your interim payment applications and the client or the consultant
can also verify and certify your bills.
So this is a very useful sheet.
Hope this video was informative.
