"This single item takes up 20% of the total budget and will render the project timeline unable to meet Mr. Lin's initial requirements from the start."
He switched to another PPT filled with data and budget analysis, clearly comparing the two options.
"As we pointed out in the evaluation report, the annual temperature difference in Wyoming exceeds 60 degrees Celsius. The joints of such a large glass and metal structure will face severe thermal expansion and contraction challenges."
"This means it will incur extremely high maintenance and calibration costs over its 50-year operational cycle."
"Therefore, our alternative solution is sliding rather than lifting."
He then presented another 3D model, "We've designed the glass curtain wall into five independent units that can slide on hidden tracks."
