4 Main Reasons Behind New Home Construction Delays and How to Mitigate Them

Navigating the Uncontrollable: 4 Main Reasons Behind New Home Construction Delays and How Paraprin Construction Mitigates Them

Building a new home is akin to taking an exciting, albeit unpredictable, journey. No matter how meticulously you plan, certain elements remain out of your control, especially when it comes to timelines. Today, we have the privilege of talking with Dave Linna, the Senior Project Manager Over New Home Construction at Paraprin Construction, about the four main reasons why new home construction can be delayed in northern Ohio.

Dave has been crafting high-quality, bespoke homes for over three decades. Now, under the guidance of Dave and his team, Paraprin Construction consistently delivers, combining superior craftsmanship with an unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. They understand the highs and lows of the homebuilding process and always aim to make the journey as enjoyable and stress-free as possible for their clients.

1. Unpredictable Weather

“Northern Ohio is known for its weather unpredictability, which can delay construction timelines,” Dave tells us. “Storms, snow, or excessive rain can hinder site work, foundation laying, framing, and exterior finishes.”

Mitigation: Dave explains that Paraprin Construction combats weather delays by keeping a close eye on weather patterns and adjusting schedules proactively. “We also use weather-resistant materials and methods wherever possible to lessen weather-related impacts on construction,” he adds.

2. Labor Shortages

“In recent years, labor shortages in the construction industry have posed significant challenges,” says Dave. “They can cause delays, increase costs, and impact the quality of work.”

Mitigation: Paraprin Construction maintains a solid network of skilled, reliable subcontractors, built over years by the careers of their dedicated employees. They’re also committed to workforce development initiatives to help cultivate the next generation of builders. Dave assures us, “Our strong relationships and continuous efforts to employ skilled workers mitigate labor shortage-related delays, but unfortunately the entire industry is struggling to fill critical, skilled roles.”

3. Supply Chain Issues

Dave tells us, “Material shortages or delays can arise due to numerous global factors, which can cause unanticipated delays and cost overruns.”

Mitigation: According to Dave, Paraprin Construction leverages its extensive network of suppliers and always maintains a buffer in project timelines for potential material-related delays. “We also explore high-quality alternative materials when necessary to keep the project on track.”

4. Permit Delays

“The time it takes to obtain building permits can be unpredictable and vary significantly, causing delays,” Dave explains.

Mitigation: With several employees amassing decades of combined industry experience, Paraprin Construction has deep-rooted relationships with local authorities. “Our experience and connections help us expedite the permitting process. We also take the time to ensure all applications are correctly filled out the first time to avoid unnecessary delays,” shares Dave.
