🗓️ Why Your Last Renovation Took 3 Months Longer Than Promised (And How We Keep Projects on Schedule)

🧱 You were told 4 months. It took 9. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Project delays are one of the top complaints in construction — and most of them are 100% avoidable with the right systems and team.

🔍 Top Reasons Projects Run Late (That No One Talks About):

1. Lack of Pre-Construction Planning

   Starting before final plans, permits, selections, or engineering is a guaranteed disaster.

   
   

2. Overbooked Contractors

   Most GCs take on too many jobs and bounce between them. You’re left waiting days or weeks between trades.

   
   

3. Material Delays

   Special orders take time. If materials aren’t ordered in week 1, your finish phase gets crushed.

   
   

4. No Project Timeline or Accountability

   If there’s no Gantt chart, no schedule tracker, and no lead time plan… it’s chaos by week 3.

   
   

5. Client-Induced Delays (Yes, Really)

   Changing designs mid-project, late decisions on finishes, or slow approvals can stall the job fast.
