Construction & Problems
Constructing a project is challenging; it is very messy. There will always be problems. Problems are a fact and they need to be factored into your plans. Problems are often amplified on construction projects because of the separation of the design functions from the construction functions.
Architects, engineers and design consultants are often forced into "low-bid" contracts and the pressure to constantly deliver lower prices means cutting out on coordination between engineering disciplines, eliminating detail drawings, cutting down on elevations, minimizing plan-checking and peer reviews, etc.
All of the cost-cutting on the design side means that fewer and fewer conflicts are caught at the design stage and left for the contractors to figure out.
How you overcome problems will determine the success of your project.
