Prepare and submit your CV along with a concise written response, not exceeding 500 words, addressing this scenario: “A client in the Middle East has requested a mixed-use commercial tower to be structurally completed within 18 months from the start of operations. The MEP subcontractor has advised a four-week delay in rough-in work for levels 12 to 18, stemming from delayed shop drawing approvals. Meanwhile, the façade contractor’s schedule progresses floor-by-floor, beginning from Level 10 upward. Identify three critical-path risks attributable to this delay and recommend one mitigation strategy for each, ensuring all assumptions are explicitly stated.”
