CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
1. Exceeding Budget
Underestimating and underbudgeting are just two of the most common causes of a project going wrong, with an influx of material and labour costs cropping up regularly due to poor organisation and leaving both clients and builders in bad stead to continue.
2. Unclear Project Agreements
Vague quotes lacking specific details or contracts can lead to disputes without clear terms or agreed scopes, causing significant issues.
3. Unanticipated Expenses
Poor planning also massively increases the risk of unexpected and costly mistakes actually occurring on site. When foundations are laid or walls are stripped back, poor site surveying and inspection can lead to some very unexpected and costly surprises to the schedule.
4. Underestimation and Cost Adjustments
Many builders offer quotes they cannot maintain, resulting in mid-project cost adjustments that can disrupt the project’s progress and cost a huge amount of money for the client to rectify.
5. Misunderstanding Responsibilities
Builders are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the project, from ensuring compliance with building regulations to adhering to agreed-upon work scopes, and many take this responsibility for granted even leaving before work is truly finished.
6. Poor Planning
Lack of a clear plan can result in inefficiencies, prolonged processes, errors, and, in extreme cases, the need for costly corrective work which can cost a small fortune as well as delays spanning months.
DEMAND FOR CONSTRUCTION WORK
After COVID-19 and the lockdowns took place, building work was extremely highly demanded due to new perspectives regarding the importance of home and property value. As a result, there was a huge backlog of building work to take place, and now this is being caught up, there is a slight decline. Combine this with greater prices for materials and labour, prices are higher than ever, but GYB strives to remain competitive despite this.
RISE OF UNQUALIFIED BUILDERS
Busy periods in construction often lead to extended client waiting times, creating opportunities for unqualified builders to enter the market at an accelerated pace. While not all are professional con artists, the market is still flooded with individuals lacking the necessary skills, experience, or work ethic to complete projects satisfactorily.
