1. Concentration claim
In construction, critical-path activities, early scope/procurement choices, trade-interface details, concentrated subcontractor risk, change-order discipline, and a few recurring safety hazards explain most delay, rework, and margin loss - while equal oversight on every task fills the job trailer.
2. Hard anchors
- OSHA construction - falls leading cause of worker fatalities in construction. https://www.osha.gov/construction
- PMI - Critical Path Method / schedule logic. https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/critical-path-method-calculation-6735
- McKinsey construction productivity - large-project overrun/delay patterns (hedge). https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/reinventing-construction-through-a-productivity-revolution
