Beat Delays with Smart Construction Contracts

Is your construction project plagued by delays, scope creep, and budget overruns? You're not alone. These challenges are industry-wide, but there's a solution: a project acceleration initiative built into your construction contract.

My experience in PMO has shown that traditional contracts often lack the foresight to address these issues. By incorporating proactive measures, you can streamline project delivery and achieve success.

Here are key elements of a project acceleration contract:

• Material Advance: Secure early procurement of critical materials, mitigating delays caused by supply chain disruptions.
• Long Lead Item Procurement: Identify and procure long lead-time items upfront, avoiding last-minute scrambling and price hikes.
• All-Risk Insurance: Shield yourself from unforeseen events with comprehensive insurance, ensuring project continuity.
• Modern Construction Techniques: Incentivize the use of prefabrication, modularization, or Building Information Modeling (BIM) for faster construction and fewer errors.
• Prudent Contract Administration: Implement thorough pre-bid and pre-contract reviews to identify potential risks and ensure clear communication from the outset.

Case Study: In a recent project, we implemented a project acceleration initiatives with these elements. By securing materials early and using prudent contract administration and modernconstruction techniques, we achieved a 20% reduction in construction time and stayed within budget.

Benefits: Fast-tracking your project through these strategies not only saves time and money but also enhances quality and reduces risks.
