80% of construction projects are delayed and 70% suffer overruns. One of the main reasons behind these terrible numbers are uncertainties. Bad things happen and they happen unexpectedly. These incident events (material delays, equipment breakdowns or weather disruptions) can profoundly impact project performance; but it’s not always the contractors’ fault.
Furthermore, changes in project scope and additional orders (requests made onsite) are extremely popular. Clients always find something to point at while on site, additional works not contemplated in the original budget.
What consequences can the unusual events have in a construction project? And what is the human cost for dealing with these obstacles, deviations or additional orders.
- Financial losses. Unaddressed unusual events can result in significant cost overruns.
- Delayed response to events may lead to time delays, impacting project timelines and further increasing costs.
- Reliance on paper annotations and manual data entry creates inefficiencies and delays.
- Important information can easily be lost or overlooked amidst piles of paperwork, causing disruptions and miscommunication.
- Physical site visits for event tracking consume valuable time.
- Workers need to physically investigate and document events, diverting their focus from productive tasks.
