Thanks for reviewing the two layout options this week. Based on your comments, Option A fits the budget and keeps the timeline you asked for in January. You can approve Option A as presented, or ask for one more round of markups before final approval.
I recommend approving Option A now. Every week we wait moves the fabrication date by a week. Let me know by Monday so we can keep the date.
