E-Space Construction Time
Construction delays are one of the major risks of any building project. Rarely
does a project come in ahead of the anticipated completion date because of two
major unknowns:
1. Weather.
2. Material and labor shortages.
Both delays drive up the cost of the building project as interest rates on the
construction loan accrue whether progress is being made or not and material
prices are volatile. A month’s delay can ruin a budget. Worker inefficiency is
inherent in construction delays as schedules are destroyed and start-stop work
makes for frustration and low productivity.
All major E-Space components are known before erection commences and are
contracted for before final documents are signed. Therefore there is no cost
creep.
Labor costs are negligible (as compared to conventional construction).
Construction time is reduced to days instead of months for all major
components. Of major significance, weather delays are almost totally
eliminated. In harsh winter climates, all pre-sized components are received in
the warehouse and held for a break in the weather necessary to be only a few
days. Because erection is accomplished in hours instead of weeks, weather
exposure is minimized.
Most importantly, when the last SIP unit is bolted in place, total enclosure is
achieved and from that point forward, workmen can finish out the interior in total
comfort. Accidents are eliminated and material that is often ruined by weather is
kept dry and safe.
Much greater productivity is also achieved by the skilled workmen who install
plumbing, heating and other specialized components as they are not fighting the
weather. Therefore, higher quality is achieved and call-backs caused by
inhospitable working conditions are eliminated.
Each of the above translates directly into cost savings and improved quality
control.
