#Person1#: How's the building work going?
#Person2#: Well, I'm afraid we've had a slight delay.
#Person1#: What's the problem? We really can't have any delays at this stage. We're working to a really tight schedule and we're already over budget.
#Person2#: The cement arrived late but don't worry, I'm confident we can still meet the deadline. The crew is on stand-by and as soon as the concrete has set we can get started again.
#Person1#: OK. Keep me informed. Jt must be ready on time.
