Question: A construction project manager is reviewing the critical path of a residential subdivision development. The current schedule indicates that the 'underground utility installation' task is causing a delay. Which of the following activities is most likely a direct successor to this task and would also be impacted by its delay?

Answer options:

  • Road paving
  • Rough framing of houses
  • Final landscaping ✅ Foundation excavation for houses

Correct answer: Foundation excavation for houses

Explanation: While road paving is related to utilities, the most direct successor affected by a delay in underground utility installation, especially for the houses themselves, would be the foundation excavation, as utilities often need to be in place or at a certain stage before foundations can be dug or poured. Rough framing typically follows foundation work, and final landscaping is near the end of the project.
