"dar uno"?

[createdamadman]

In the sentences below, I understand that the manager is basically giving the kids a tour, but I don't understand why "dar uno" is used.

I would expect a second personal 'a' in the second sentence: a María y a Roberto.

I believe you might be thinking that «dar uno» is short for «dar un paseo», but what follows ('in construction work') doesn't make any sense.
It makes more sense if «en la obra en construcción» is translated 'at the construction site'.

Depending on where you live, «dar un paseo» typically lasts longer than a tour of a construction site. I would say we're talking about «un recorrido» here.

Let's see what a native speaker has to say.

I agree with Rusty.
The second "a" necessary in formal writing, but in daily speech many people suppress it. ;(

And I agree that without any context, "uno" doesn't make any sense. Here, "uno" is a pronoun that most probably substitutes "un recorrido" or "un paseo" mentioned in a previous paragraph. :)

The pronou, by the way, must agree in gender with the thing it substitutes.
