Reduce Construction Industry Delays During Winter Months

  • December 2, 2019 by Admin
Reduce Construction Industry Delays During Winter Months

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the construction industry loses billions annually on weather-related delays. One of the best and most cost-effective tools to allow for continued construction during winter months is to work inside a fabric building for construction industry. There are inevitable moments where the weather interferes with your work. This is especially true during the winter months. Not only can weather delays make it more challenging to complete your work, but delays in construction are extremely costly.

Added Expense From Construction Delays

Delays in construction affect others in your supply train like subcontractors and partners, throwing an entire project off track. For example, salaries and equipment leases must be paid extra for the days missed, in addition to the extra days needed to complete the project. To that, you risk running into shortages for project managers and crew who are suddenly required to spend more time on your project when they are scheduled to be elsewhere. Extra storage costs and double handling fees of materials that were delivered but could not be utilized account for extra wasted spend. Lastly, the overall domino effect toward other scheduled projects that are then delayed now creates a costly construction project that rolls over into others.

Construction delays add up fast causing extra unforeseen expense, disgruntled clients who leave less than favorable sentiment about your company, and contract disputes with suppliers and contractors. Planning ahead for contingencies means not only keeping abreast of winter weather forecast, but also how a construction site can be covered or protected to allow the work to continue without interruption.

The Value of Fabric Building for Construction Industry

What makes a fabric building for construction industry so valuable is that they can provide a clearspan covered workplace, protecting your construction site from harsh snow, rain, wind, or other winter weather elements. In doing so, they keep your project on track and on time, satisfying your clients, employees, partners, and suppliers.

Their quick turnaround and durability ensure a strong, safe environment for workers, equipment, and other valuable assets. For example, Calhoun’s fabric buildings can exceed 150 mph winds and 300 lbs per square foot snow load. By accurately determining various environmental loads that are applied to your steel structure, we use a non-linear analysis. Calhoun’s approach ensures the optimal design of the steel is determined for your fabric covered building, reducing total cost. Furthermore, Calhoun’s fabric building for construction industry are made of engineered high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric, manufactured from 12 oz per square yard in weight, and 24 mil thick – offering a large strength-to-density ratio.

 

Whether you work for a small or large construction company, its critical to be as cost-efficient as possible, especially during months when delays are feasible and the stakes are high. You might also be interested in reading, Winter No Match for Durable Fabric Structures.
