In construction, it’s not uncommon to work on a project for several months and find that the building never gets completed. Many developers run out of money during large-scale construction projects and it’s easily done. A spell of poor weather can play a part in completing construction projects. For example, you may have a team employed and ready for the job as well as expensive equipment, but if the weather is too dangerous to work in, days and weeks can just pass by. Then of course, missing deadlines becomes a problem because you’re always behind trying to catch-up, and when you do, you may overrun the project, not anticipating the amount of work involved, meaning you need to cancel it all together. Here in the UK and overseas there are brand new shells of hotels, supermarkets and shopping centres that sat there for years only to be knocked down. It’s always important to overestimate the work required for large building projects.
