Why It Matters

What’s putting dates at risk.

Most dates hold. The ones at risk share one cause — a seat that never got filled.

46 Critical-path roles unfilled

Milestones without an owner slip first. These seats sit on the phases with the least float.

+9 days Longer permit and inspection lag

Early float gets consumed before construction velocity can recover it.

Tight MEP trade capacity in the build corridors

Electrical and mechanical scope is fully absorbed — the constraint that surfaces once the leadership seats are filled.

What we see
Milestones without a named owner are the first to slip — and they sit on the phases with the least float.
46 critical-path seats remain open across active programs.
Permit and inspection lag has added roughly 9 days before construction velocity can recover it.
MEP trade capacity is fully absorbed in the build corridors.
On-time milestone delivery has eased to 81% — down 3 points.

The Cost of Waiting

A missing superintendent costs more than a delayed one.

If you move now

Fill the seven at-risk milestone owners before Q3 and the schedule holds.

If you wait a quarter

Leave them open and commissioning, turnover, and liquidated-damages exposure all compress against a fixed handover date.
