I do remember a progress chart being shown on here months ago, not sure how far back though.

I know a chap, ST holder, who has a contract to do part of the new ground interior, he reckons the main build is perfectly on schedule but that the logistics of coordinating the interior fixtures and fittings, which obviosly have to be done in a specific order, are still chaotic. Hopes it will be sorted as things progress outside
Liquidated Damages will have been included on a project of this scale without a doubt. Not only penalties for being late, but also unlimited consequential losses.The contract would have been awarded on acceptance of them.
They have the potential to bankrupt the main contractor if they fail to complete on time.
I think it will be done.
The only way it won't be is if there is problems with the roof, pitch or a H&S issue.
They have made amazing progress in the last year and what is different is the doing many different projects simultaneously. It's staggering really.
With Wanda they didn't have to play away from home and started in 2013 with the piling and foundations didn't they?
This build has been amazing considering the restraints.
We won't have the final finish on them podium walkways and surrounding areas though.
Neither the hotels etc or the facilities outside the south stand. Maybe not even Paxton House.
But the stadium will be open and all that can be finished post season at a later date.
This was the 12th August 2016
Just over a year ago. We have just under a year left, plus maybe some away games on the trot start of next year. Should be done.
Ps most stadiums are not fully finished when opened. There is usually some aesthetic work, touching up done afterwards.
Look at Emirates frontage and entrance and The OS when they opened

I really hope that the South Stand is as incredible as it should be. For me it's the one thing that could make the stadium truly epic. Fingers crossed Levy got it right with that one
I'm hoping the sliding pitch won't have potential to delay the proceedings. It would have to be ready to play on even if there are problems with the retraction system.
can't look any more, just makes me nervous... Will check back at xmas and see how things are goingSorry if posted already
When I say xmas I mean tomorrow and the next day and the next.... Why is it not getting bigger!!!!!!
Tug it harder
Encouraging evidence that a bigger New Stadium doesn't have to mean atmosphere drops off
RB Leipzig's Timo Werner was subbed due to noisy Besiktas fans
Anyone here go to the Besiktas away leg in the Martin Jol days in their old stadium?

Not sure how he would know this, as a Project Manager I would never tell a 3rd party how well/bad a Project is going.
Every part of the stadium will be planned, it's bullshit to say that any part of this is chaotic.
Doubt your mate would release such privileged info unless he's taking bollox
I'll tell him some randoms off the internet think he's a liar next time I see him

Not to mention that interior fixtures and fittings are a ways off from even being a priority at this stage.
In my experience the fit out stage is where the end date looms large, but there is relatively little noise compared to the structure, so extended working can take place without upsetting the neighbours.
It usually manages to sort itself out, as long as as deliveries and specs are met. I volunteer to oversee the snagging and monitor the performance of the pitch facing sections, throughout the season.
I recall from the drawings that went around when planning permission was finally granted, that most of the internal fit in the North Stand is going to be done "at a future date".
