Excavation finished 25 min early. Projected labor savings from that task: +$38. Overall job is currently 4% ahead of schedule.
✦ AI NEXT MOVE
Use the time advantage.
Move Jake to material staging immediately after base prep. Keep Chris + Carlos together for turf layout. This preserves the current lead and could recover another 20–30 minutes.
