No but you and I do, get back to workDo we work in the same office...?

He and the great and insightful Ray Wilkins.. They spend hours talking but they actually say absolutely nothing.. WankersApparently Alan Brazil is today's self-appointed expert on building programmes.
Everyone has an "opinion", eh?
[I used to watch him when he played for Ipswich, as my partner in those days came from a Ipswich supporting family and we often went to Portman Rd. I don't recall any of his performances in his brief stint with Spurs. Good winger, though.]
You on HS2?Do we work in the same office...?
You on HS2?
Actually he said that no way would it be ready but then backtracked and intimated that 60% of it may be open. A general question for all - is it all or nothing?Apparently Alan Brazil is today's self-appointed expert on building programmes.

And Alan Brazil was a centre forward. Bloody quick too.
You don't have to be a expert on building programs to see when a project is running behind.
Do publicly stated checkpoints mean a jot?Unless the site is visibly deserted or it is very late in the programme, yes you do. As @Ionman34 and I have both said more than once - and we both work in the development/construction industry - you need to have a copy of the full building programme and familiarity with the job to judge accurately.
It is too early and this build is much too complicated to form any valid judgment on progress, based on general external photos of the site.
HS2 will be fun! We've had a shitload of protesters chaining themselves to trees to stop clearance. None of the muppets are aware that we're planting more than we remove, 1.3 million I believe.Negative. Been fortunate to experience Crossrail though...
Programme is king in construction. If you manage your programme properly you don't have to throw loads of money at the job.You don't have to be a expert on building programs to see when a project is running behind.
Alan Brazil is clearly not an expert but he was claiming to "know someone", as he probably does know someone as he did play for us a few years back.
I've worked in the construction industry for 23 years and a lot of "building programs" are a crock of shite tbh. Not many large construction sites run smoothly, it's almost always a mad panic at the end with the main contractor throwing lots of hours and money to finish the job on time or not (Wembley rings a bell, where I also worked for a bit).

Depends on whether it is a milestone. There are some milestones that are bonus linked, I.e. Get the roof on by a given date, to use your example, you can get a bonus. Sometimes Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) are linked to programme performance and carry additional bonus payments. It all depends on the contract.Do publicly stated checkpoints mean a jot?
For example if the club said the roof on by February or does the build program end up being more fluid than that, much like in my industry (software)?
I will stipulate that people like you and @Ionman34 are experts in this matter. I have actually addressed you personally when I needed some clarification. The thing is as I am a big ignoramus, I just make guesses based on nothing other than my judgement, which is usually crap, no intention of devaluing or undermining your expertise. It is just like a guessing game or challenge but fun for me. My views don't mean anything and it definitely wont have a bearing on whether it will finish on time or not.Unless the site is visibly deserted or it is very late in the programme, yes you do.

Not knowing doesn't make you an ignoramus Bullet, just lacking knowledge on a particular subject. I expect I'm just as ignorant of your field of expertise.I will stipulate that people like you and @Ionman34 are experts in this matter.

Everyone looks happy
Played on the flank for Ipswich. Paul Mariner was the centre forward.
