Design Challenge

Challenges was to find the good construcion team.
especially during the time of Covid, we had many problems getting workers to go on the site job due to its location, which was about an 45min drive from Kaohsiung city. Time was delayed as expected, but quailty of work still had to be maintained with many changing work forces during that time.
