Framework

Are safety and code compliance at risk?

Does the conflict violate electrical codes?

NEC clearance requirement: 3 feet minimum above HVAC ductwork

40% of electrical runs require rerouting to meet code (1,000+ outlets affected)

Construction safety during rework phase?

OSHA requirements: 2-person minimum per phase, safety briefings before each reroute

Rework introduces 12% injury risk increase in concurrent MEP work

How much scope is really changing?

Electrical routing alternatives analysis?

Option A: Reroute vertically (adds 150% to conduit length, +18% labor)

Option B: Install ceiling drop or under-slab runs (adds 22% labor, +$140K)

Option C: Coordinate with MEP—shift HVAC ducts (requires HVAC crew, +3 weeks)

Cost impact of each option?

Option A rework: $85K + 4 weeks delay

Option B rework: $140K + 2 weeks delay

Option C coordination: $55K + 3 weeks delay (assumes HVAC available)

Can we recover schedule and keep team morale?

Schedule recovery levers?

Original timeline: 26 weeks, delay options add 2-4 weeks slip

Parallel work possible: other floors can proceed while 40% electrical reroutes

Overtime feasibility: 10% crew augmentation could recover 1-2 weeks

Team coordination and quality under pressure?

Current team: 12 electricians, 2 supervisors (established working relationships)

Rework quality risk: 28% defect rate on rush electrical work (vs 3% baseline)
