While Alves Construction strives to complete projects on time, there are multiple factors beyond our control that can cause delays. Understanding these common causes helps both our team and clients manage expectations and respond proactively.
Typical Causes of Construction Delays:
1. Weather Conditions
Inclement weather—such as heavy rain or snow—can halt outdoor work for safety and quality reasons.
2. Supply Chain Issues
Delays in material deliveries or shortages can slow progress, particularly when sourcing specialised or imported items.
3. Site Conditions and Unexpected Challenges
Unforeseen issues like contaminated soil, hidden structural problems, or difficult ground conditions may arise during construction.
4. Design Changes or Client Amendments
Modifications to the original project scope or design often require reassessment and rescheduling, impacting timelines.
5. Resource Availability
Limited availability of subcontractors or key personnel can delay critical tasks.
How Alves Construction Minimises Delays:
1. Proactive Planning
We create detailed project schedules that incorporate time buffers and contingency plans for common delay risks.
2. Strong Supplier Relationships
Our established connections with trusted suppliers help us secure materials promptly and anticipate shortages.
3. Clear Client Communication
We keep clients informed of progress and potential issues early, enabling timely decisions to avoid bottlenecks.
4. Flexible Project Management
When delays occur, we adjust workflows and resource allocation to recuperate lost time wherever possible.
