The Most Common Construction Delays And How To Avoid Them

Choosing a Swanbuild home doesn't just mean a beautiful home that is quality-made and suited to your lifestyle. Our modular construction means that while your home is constructed off-site at our factory, you are uniquely placed to avoid some very common construction delays. Any form of construction delay means time, which also means money. Read below to learn about how a Swanbuild home can avoid delays like inclement weather, materials, and labour shortages.

Weather

It's such a common occurrence in the construction industry: the rain comes, and the tools go down. Regardless of where your site is, inclement weather, either extreme heat or excess rain, can severely delay your home's construction. At Swanbuild, we build your home to 95% completion in our controlled factory environment. That means that rain, hail, sleet, or snow; we can continue building your home to maintain our fast timelines for delivery.

Materials

Our factory-based construction model means we are volume builders creating multiple homes simultaneously. This way of building means we have strong buying power; unlike some smaller builders who may experience delays in securing common materials, our procurement practices mean we stock large amounts of materials to keep your home's construction going without delays.

Labour

A labour shortage is one of the common challenges that can impact a construction site. For smaller construction companies, hiring and retaining a skilled workforce can be particularly difficult. At Swanbuild, our full project timeline and factory-based model allow us to maintain full construction teams that can work on multiple homes simultaneously, ensuring there is no downtime due to fluctuating staffing levels.
