Dear Ashish,

For starters, use the spell checker in Power Point.

Also, how can an ongoing project, be considered successful, if it's not
completed?

Lastly, do we get to choose the photo?

He asked for a successful and ongoing project. Wembly was years late and way
over budget even if it is a nice building. It's also finished or at least it
had better be as I hear a few blokes are planning to kick a ball about there
tomorrow.

LOL I know. Despite the lateness and over budgetness it seems it's been
successful- otherwise the final wouldn't be taking place there.

As for ongoing, I can bet there'll be quite a bit of snagging left. I was
left alone on one (finished) site a while ago for three months just
snagging. Booked 84 hours a week for doing next to nothing although by
the end I wasn't bothering to go in. Any snags discovered and I was only
a phonecall away.

budget.

:-)

Can't imagine a large construction project NOT going over budget.
