In construction, time is of the essence — not just a saying, but a legal term that defines how critical schedule is to project success.
For commercial and industrial projects, every day matters: a delay can mean postponed sales, disrupted supply chains, or frustrated stakeholders.
How Schedule Risk Appears
- Late material deliveries
- Design or approval delays
- Poor coordination between trades
- Contractor inefficiency
- Decisions not made on time
Each small delay compounds. The result: lost revenue, higher costs, and missed opportunities.
