The MEP subcontractor has advised a four-week delay in rough-in activities on levels 12–18 due to delayed shop drawing approvals, while the façade contractor’s program is scheduled to progress floor-by-floor, starting from Level 10. You are tasked with identifying three critical-path risks stemming from this delay and proposing one mitigation strategy for each. Clearly outline any assumptions made in your response.”
