“If steel erection slips 2 months, how do we still finish on time? A 6-day week is an option for some trades.”

What AI Mode found51 days

Compressing downstream work recovers up to 28 days. Adding a 6-day week on steel trades recovers 15 to 17 more, closing almost all of the 51-day gap.

Why it mattered. The team knew it needed both levers, and to start the completion date conversation early rather than wait.
