Hi,all. Please give me a progress update on the Whitestone work. We won't want to be anywhere behind schedule.

.

Bad news here. I'm afraid we experiencing some delay in getting the steel bars we ordered. We are going to be held up until after the 23th of this month..

.

317.

That’s two weeks later than originally planned! Have you communicated this to client? We should get them prepared for a very likely delay.

.

I beg to differ. I think we should find the second source. We can check for availability from Man Iron. Remember they supplied us with quite a big quantity of steel bars the last time we were in the same situation?

Kino 8:42 A.M. Although they are of a smaller scale as compared to our original vendor Iron Steel, let me try to reach out to them and see if this works. Abby 10:55 P.M. Alright all, let's play it by ear.
