Damage Control: 5 Ways to Manage Construction Mistakes

Abstract

How to Avoid Construction Errors and Mistakes Altogether When it comes to large construction projects, the last thing a contractor wants to deal with is a costly mistake that will cause them to absorb the repair costs into their budgets. 5 Best Practices for Handling Construction Mistakes Adopting a plan of action when a construction mistake appears will allow you to address the issue quickly to lower the amount of damage, prevent extensive rework and ensure that the rest of the construction project is finished on time. If the mistake in construction was significant enough, the larger construction schedule might have to be adjusted. Offsite construction allows you to use prefabricated building materials pre-built to specifications that can be placed into the rest of the construction project to cut down on time, costs and human errors. Due Diligence with Construction Quality To prevent mistakes in construction, teams need to do their due diligence to focus on the quality of the product that they provide. With everyone following the established construction quality standards, all teams will stay up-to-date with construction building codes and other specifications so each stage of the project will pass inspections. Construction Mistakes Happen; Don't Let Them Destroy Your Project Construction mistakes can be costly, dangerous and impact future project bids.
