The current trend is that the Investor needs time to conduct construction quickly to put it into production in time with market demand. However, some projects, especially large projects and complex structures, have prolonged construction times, leading to significant production and financial losses.
DIRECT REASON
Direct reasons are reasons that come from the contractor you are cooperating with on construction, those reasons are usually the following:
- Lack of funds
If a contractor does many projects at once and cannot recover money from previous projects, the lack of capital is completely understandable. This problem is often encountered by many contractors, causing problems in importing materials or paying costs during the construction process, leading to delays.
- Unable to mobilize workers.
People are the main factor in building a project, whether large or small, with many construction contractors having poor labor management leading to an inability to control a stable number of workers during the construction process. . That is the reason for the delay in the construction process.
- Negligence in the work process.
For a project to be completed, many stages must be coordinated smoothly together. Negligence in one step causes a delay in progress in that step, making the whole process slow and slow. Therefore, to avoid delays in progress, high concentration in all stages is extremely necessary.
- Damaged equipment.
A company's equipment capacity is often evaluated on a par with that company's human capacity. The fact that equipment supports people in the process is indisputable. The more technology is applied, the faster progress becomes and vice versa. If mechanical equipment breaks down during construction, delays in progress can easily occur.
So these are the direct reasons coming from the contractor you are working with that can slow down your construction progress. If the contractors you are working with give these reasons, your contractor appraisal is wrong.
Please choose reputable contractors to avoid delays in your construction process!
Indirect reason
Indirect reasons are reasons beyond the control of the company or builder, or sometimes the business itself cannot control. Those reasons are specifically:
- Bad weather.
Of the construction projects, up to 99% are projects built in natural spaces. Places directly affected by weather factors. If the weather is unfavorable or sometimes becomes harsh like these winter days, it is inevitable that it will affect progress. However, if you are flexible in management, you can still overcome this problem by changing the plan so that all factors are the best. For example, your plan today is to paint the outside surface of the building, but it's raining, you can still change the plan by adjusting it to work that can be done indoors to fix the problem. fix weather problems.
- Scarcity of raw materials.
During the year, there are some times when material resources become scarce because user demand increases, especially in the last months of the year. Therefore, projects starting at the end of the year often tend to be delayed due to not being able to mobilize enough raw materials during construction. In addition, ordering raw materials too quickly and not having enough time for suppliers to produce them is the cause of slow project progress.
- Slow to receive site handover
At this point you think it seems a bit absurd but it's true. In fact, there are many projects that contractors receive late handovers, leading to overlapping schedules. Many investors, for certain reasons, cannot hand over the construction site to the contractor, but still want the contractor to complete the project according to the schedule that the two parties signed. However, the slow handover is the reason for the slow progress of the project. To avoid delays, investors should also pay attention to these issues.
Consequences of delayed progress:
- The Contractor loses credibility with the Investor in particular and in the construction industry in general
- Investors missed plans to use construction works, causing economic loss
Settlement value for items delayed due to contractor errors.
Compensating for differences in costs of materials, labor, and construction machines must pay attention to checking and reviewing the detailed progress of the entire project according to each work item (nature of work, volume of implementation). must be consistent with the construction progress of the contract and bidding documents or proposal documents).
– The content of the progress explanation report must clearly identify the part of the project whose progress is extended; For works that require clearance and compensation, an inspection record must be attached to confirm the scope of construction sites that have not yet been cleared at the project as agreed upon by the relevant parties; Inspect and review construction areas to avoid land obstructions, compensate for clearance if the contractor is behind schedule, and compare the contract contents to propose penalties to the contractor in accordance with regulations.
