1. Low margins
One of the biggest causes of low margins is unnecessary rework.
In fact, rework accounts for as much as 20% of project costs on
average, according to the Construction Industry Institute report, "A
Guide to Construction Rework Reduction." Often, that unnecessary
rework is the result of someone not having the right information
when they need it on the job. At the same time, when work is
completed but not recorded, margin fade can occur.
"If you don't have the right answer to the question when you need
it in the field, someone will do the wrong thing," said Josh Wright,
senior product manager at Viewpoint Construction Software. "And
then you have to pay someone to undo it."
