Deloitte assists a general contractor in analyzing how to ensure a project stays on track to avoid further delays and penalties from their own client.
Scenario interviews help us assess your thought process, creativity, and comfort with ambiguity. At the same time, the scenarios represent real client engagements so they allow you to gain insight into the work we do.
A general contractor has experienced several construction delays and now find themselves behind schedule. There are several factors contributing to the delays: (1) A project concrete subcontractor has not been able to pour concrete due to poor weather conditions; (2) a project plastics supplier has not been able to deliver piping due to supply chain impacts.
The general contractor is concerned with how these delays will impact the project cost and potentially make them liable for contractual delay penalties from the owner. They have hired Deloitte to assist in analyzing the situation.
