Using the Word Float
It is a good idea to avoid using the word “float” in a schedule or cost report to a client.
Instead you could use phrases such as “Critical Evaluation of final commissioning items”, or something similar.
Using the word “float” usually leads to management or the client wanting it reduced.
Of course only use the alternative wording if it is a necessary float and the words reasonably describe the use.
