Nine out of 10 contractors say they see frequent construction delays, according to forconstructionpros.com. Although some delays are inevitable, it is important to address the problem when possible and try to prevent the effects of delays on projects.


Following are five tips to help keep your projects running on time.


1. Set realistic expectations. Supply chain  disruptions have significantly affected project completion dates, so be sure everyone on your team is up to date regarding the issue so you can give quotes that reflect the reality of the current environment. Be sure you let everyone know when problems arise and quickly update your customers  if matters beyond your control will cause delays.


2. Use your team effectively. Construction companies need clear systems in place to ensure workers are not sitting idle; if a team cannot complete a task because of labor or material shortages, site managers should be able to reassign them to other tasks or job sites. Ensure your team leaders have the resources and knowledge needed to make      smart decisions in real time and maximize productivity.


3. Embrace checklists. Digital technology can allow stakeholders from across the project to access and update checklists from tablets or smartphones. Digital lists are less likely to be overlooked by frontline workers and make it possible for project supervisors to have full visibility regarding project status.


4. Communicate. Project managers and job-site staff should hold regular meetings to track progress and anticipate potential problems. Messaging tools also can help teams seek advice, use photos and videos to highlight specific questions, or access blueprints and other information in a timely manner.


5. Use data. Modern worksites are increasingly driven by data, so you should have systems in place to manage and keep track of project information. Teams should have the data they need easily available using mobile devices or tablets.


During a time when lengthy delays are becoming common and some contractors are resigned to it, contractors who prioritize organizational efficiency have an opportunity to stand out.
