The Importance Of Having A Contingency Plan For Construction Contractors

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Jun 21, 2024

In the construction industry, unexpected challenges can arise at any moment. Numerous factors, from material delays to unforeseen weather conditions, can disrupt project timelines and budgets.

    • Hurry up and get to the job. 
    • Wait for the customer to come home to be available. 
    • Hurry up and create the proposal. 
    • Wait for a decision. 
    • When the client says "Yes," it is - wait for the Job Deposit.
