CHALLENGES IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Exceeding Budget
Insufficient planning or misinterpretation of project scopes and quotes are common culprits for a budget overrunning. Changes in material quality and project duration can escalate costs significantly, and a truly thorough site inspection is vital to prevent this.
Unclear Project Agreements
Vague quotes lacking specific details or contracts can lead to disputes. Without clear terms or agreed scopes, this is commonly seen to cause significant issues.
Unanticipated Expenses
As work commences, unforeseen challenges often arise, especially when dealing with underground or concealed structures. This leads to vastly unexpected costs and again could be foreseen with proper site surveillance.
Underestimation and Cost Adjustments
Many builders offer quotes they cannot maintain, resulting in mid-project cost adjustments that can disrupt the project’s progress and cost a small fortune whilst the client is vulnerable.
Misunderstanding Responsibilities
Builders are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the project, from ensuring compliance with building regulations to adhering to agreed-upon work scopes.
Poor Planning
Lack of a clear plan can result in inefficiencies, prolonged processes, errors, and, in extreme cases, the need for costly corrective work.
DEMAND FOR CONSTRUCTION WORK
The demand for construction work surged following the 2020 lockdowns but has experienced a modest decline since 2022 due to rising living costs and increased material and labour expenses. Despite these challenges, GYB remains committed to offering competitive pricing.
RISE OF UNQUALIFIED BUILDERS
Busy periods in construction often lead to extended client waiting times, creating opportunities for unqualified builders to enter the market and take advantage of those who are most eager to get things going. While not all are professional con artists, the market is still flooded with individuals lacking the necessary skills, experience, or work ethic to complete projects to the standard that they deserve, leaving customers to clean up the mess.
