Common Cause For Delays In Renovation Projects
Common Cause For Delays In Renovation Projects
KEY REASONS FOR DELAYS IN RENOVATION PROJECTS
Budget and Resources
Underestimating the budget and the resources required is a common mistake most Business Owners and Corporates do when planning their renovation projects. On top of this, lack of clarity in terms of the final outcome of the project results in constant last-minute changes, sometimes even after the commencement of the renovation works.
Unreliable Renovation Contractors And Their Teams
To achieve perfection and bring smiles on the client’s faces, renovation projects need to be handled by crews that are trained, experienced and that understand the vision of the client. This makes it extremely important for project owners to hire the right contractors with skilled teams and ensure the presence of an experienced Project Management Team to supervisor the overall project from on-site contractor management to making sure the project progresses as per the initial plan.
Client’s Lack Of Technical Knowledge
Project Owners usually don’t possess in-depth knowledge about construction, renovation, architecture, materials used, etc. This makes them easy prey for contractors who tend to stretch the deadline or add extra costs to the bill.
Labour Supply And Lack Of Productivity
Ensuring the quality of work is extremely important in renovation projects. Many times, renovation contractors either face a shortage of labour supply or the available labour force is inexperienced. These incidences can be due to renovation contractor-labour unresolved issues, pandemic situations or natural calamities. Such problems may lead to a lack of productivity on-site, cost overruns or poor workmanship.
Poor Design And Delay In Finalisation
Inexperienced Project Owners who’s lack clarity of their needs whilst renovation of their property may lead to delay in finalisation of designs, eventually delaying the course of the entire project.
Fluctuations Of Material Prices
Market prices of several construction materials are always fluctuating, mostly depending on the entire demand-supply chain. More often than not, the prices of materials change significantly on a daily basis. Therefore, not taking into account this fluctuation in prices can lead to inaccurate estimates and cost overrun.
Clarity in Communication
On-site communication and inherent gap of trust between the Project Owners and contractors create natural conflicts of interest. This requires effective communication between the Project Owner and the renovation contractor. But in most cases, the plans create room for interpretation and can lead to the team going off track and cause significant delay.
