C. Finished Hardware - - all of which affect
the progress and completion
of cabinet work
d. Hollow Metal Work and Doors
e. Ornamental Plaster Work
f.
Special Lighting Fixtures
The intangibles and contingencies include:
A strike, in force for some time, is delaying
completion of certain Hollow Metal Work.
A strike by the plasterers is threatened for
Monday, August t. ?
Availability of critical materials.
Failure, through oversight, to fabricate and
deliver items affecting several trades, or an
improper or unacceptable item, causing rejection.
Delays in making selections of colors for interior
painted surfaces, and in approvals necessary from
here out.
Project contingencies caused by errors at the site,
or in construction drawings or shop drawings.
Possible changes or additions.
Lack of funds preventing overtime work necessary
to capture lost time or to accelerate.
The obtaining of the necessary additional funds in
the immediate future.
It is obvious that this or any other date forecast for completion and
occupancy later than that of the current schedule should be closely
guarded and not made known to subcontractors and others responsible
for the completion of the work at the earliest practicable date.
