You are the general contractor for a high-end, private residence construction job. You manage teams of subcontractors who work on various aspects of the house, from plumbing and electrical to drywall and landscaping. The homeowners, Robert and Maggie Applebaum, want to be in their new house in 4 months and will check in with you regularly about its progress. It is your job to make sure daily operations at the site are running smoothly and that the house is completed on time and within budget, without negatively affecting your other building projects. Your Goal: Complete the house on time, achieve profits of 10% or greater (meaning you should spend $162,000 or less of your $180,000 budget on all building costs), and keep the subcontractors and homeowners happy. Your reputation is at stake.
