Reprioritize tasks, adjust schedules, communicate with stakeholders, seek alternative materials or suppliers, and optimize resource allocation. Stay adaptable!

You must plan ahead, getting ahead starts pre-development , early call offs and setting up key project meetings with the material buyers is a must. Keeping an up to day programme of the development and making sure its is sent to all relevant parties is critical for the early identification of material lead time delays. If delays are unknown and the project is suddenly hit, changing of specification as agreed with Sales or the Client can be made, as well as material changes for an alternative more readily available product. This may mean a non-material amendment through planning but can often be quicker than long lead in times.

Facing delays due to material lead times is a common challenge in construction, but it is manageable with the right strategy. First, please establish strong relationships with key suppliers to make sure that they communicate smoothly and anticipate potential delays. According to a McKinsey study, companies that manage their supply chains well can reduce costs by 15%. In addition, a real-time tracking system should be implemented to monitor order status and proactively adjust plans. Also, maintain a safe stock of critical materials to avoid disruptions. Redeploy resources and adjust work schedules to minimize the impact when delays are unavoidable. Planning flexibility and adaptability are essential.
