The Alternates

The Alternates are options or candidates considered for a project or decision, but not always the first choice. They serve as backup plans or alternatives in case the primary option isn’t available, feasible, or suitable. Think of them as second best options that can be chosen to meet goals or solve problems, ensuring flexibility and preparedness. In contexts like architecture, construction, or planning, having Alternates helps teams stay adaptable and can sometimes lead to cost savings or better solutions if the primary option isn’t viable.
