You're facing material delays on a project. How can you adjust your schedule to avoid budget overruns?

One thing that is helpful is having a variety of sources don’t commit to just one source that can’t always fulfill . Shop around places that you would never expect may have just what you are looking for.Always check frequent places inventory.

To avoid budget overruns due to material delays, reassess priorities, adjust timelines, and communicate with stakeholders. Reallocate resources and negotiate with suppliers for faster delivery. Stay flexible!

You could 1 find alternate material suppliers add/or find alternate materials with similar costs. Do aspects of works that aren't impeded by the material shortage so that you'd not loose time on the project.

I was recently faced with this and there was nothing I could do outside of holding the manufacturer in breach of contract and back charging them for liquidated damages. However this delay afforded me an opportunity to expedite other phases of the project to help offset the loss. It’s easy to get tunnel vision, especially since construction is task oriented. I like to create a Construction Complete list at the beginning of a project, and build my schedule off that. This allows me to crate a private schedule that looks out months instead of weeks, also it confines final punch lists to Easter Eggs.
