No matter how hard you try, construction projects are just some of those many things that often get delayed or pushed back. These projects don’t just rely on your effective planning to get completed on time; various other factors like complicated processes, technological advancements, environmental changes, and much more can affect their duration.

These delays often end up costing you and other project stakeholders a lot of money, time, and stress. But fret not; with our delay claim expert witness and analysis services, you can overcome these issues in no time.

In this blog, we’ll break down some of the most reasons for delays and construction projects and how we can help you avoid or overcome them.

Project Complexity

Depending on what you’re trying to build, construction projects can be quite complex. Everything from nuclear power stations, dams, skyscrapers to motorways are on a different level in comparison to shops, residential buildings, office buildings, and more.

If you’re working in building a dam or motorway, you can expect the construction project to last many years. With the increased duration periods, you’re sure to witness changes in material prices, increased inflation, exchange rates, and more that might disrupt the allocated budget and delay the project.

Insufficient planning

Effective and adequate planning is at the heart of every construction project. Without proper planning in place, you can expect your construction projects to start and finish in time.

It doesn’t matter what you’re building, every construction project should have detailed planning pertaining to every phase, making the building process a breeze.

Planning should include everything from materials, cost, time, suppliers, human resources, types of equipment needed. Having all this in hand before you start working on construction will reduce any chances of delays, cost overruns, and poor quality of work.

Improper project scheduling

Much like adequate planning, having a project schedule can be a game-changer for your construction projects.

Without a proper schedule detailing work activities in a logical order along with a realistic time frame, you and your construction team will be struggling to get things done in time. Project scheduling also allows you to monitor progress and analyze data for more effective performance.
