The project includes demolition, concrete work (16 cubic meters total), 950 kg steel reinforcement, 120 square meters of interlocking pavers, and crane hire for structure removal. Completion deadline is 60 days from order issue. Key risk: late-completion penalties are harsh (0.1% daily, minimum 10% of PO value).
