State Problem
As the construction of WOC was one of the major assignment of ACI, the main problem faced by it was the completion of project in time.

The project was originally scheduled for completion by March 2010 but the client desired to get it done by Thanksgiving holiday, November 26,2009. Tom Grott,the project manager for ACI recognised the impossibility of the project and compromised by addition of few additional weeks to the clients desired date and finally the completion date was pushed to December 14, 2009 before Christmas season.. As the impeding deadline was creating significant tension on the site, the project manager of ACI, with his team evaluated the progress of their building expansion project on September 24 ,2009.
Objectives
As ACI had became a big and strong name in construction market, so in an effort to uphold the reputation and future opportunities, Grott wanted to ensure that project gets completed in time.
