What obstacles were overcome related to the schedule, budget, program, specification, site, etc. on this project? Major supply chain issues throughout the entire project.
Please communicate any engineering complexities or unique features of the panel design for this project. ? There are several panel legs that cause a recess in the building, This created a lot of additional formwork and made the project very appealing once completed.
