The most common mistakes made by investors when building halls and warehouses
Constructing halls and warehouses is an undertaking that requires meticulous planning at every stage. Investors are often faced with challenges that can impact the project’s ultimate success. Unfortunately, many investors make mistakes, and even the slightest negligence can impact the cost, quality, and potential delays of the project. In this article, we will discuss the three most common mistakes investors make when building halls and warehouses, and we will also advise how to avoid them to ensure a smooth investment.
- Choosing a Design Firm Based on the Lowest RateThe first and one of the most common mistakes investors make is choosing the design firm that offers the lowest price on the market. Unfortunately, lower rates often lead to a lack of attention to project refinement, which can lead to serious problems during the construction phase, such as costly rework and additional work.
Companies like KBBE, which offer a „design and build” system, can ensure higher quality and project refinement because they have greater control over the entire process, from design to completion. This approach helps avoid shortcomings that could impact the functionality of the facility.
- Lack of technical support and construction supervisionAnother serious mistake is the lack of adequate technical support during the construction phase. Investors often fail to employ experienced specialists who can reliably supervise construction, leading to organizational and technical issues.
In our company, each project is assigned a construction manager or technical engineer who continuously monitors progress and resolves any issues. This approach ensures that investors are confident that construction is proceeding according to plan, and any issues are addressed immediately. A designated technical person is also responsible for maintaining constant contact with the investor, which allows for better coordination of activities on the construction site.
- Failure to consider the investment’s impact on company operations during the planning phaseOften, investors fail to anticipate how construction work might impact the operation of existing production facilities. It is important to consider the investment’s impact on production operations during the planning phase to minimize downtime and ensure production can continue without major disruptions.
Making mistakes during the planning and implementation phase of construction projects can lead to serious problems that impact costs and deadlines.
By choosing the „design and build” model, investors can avoid many of these problems, gaining a partner who will not only develop a comprehensive design but also ensure its proper execution. Proper coordination of work, technical support, and attention to the ongoing needs of the production facility allow for the smooth implementation of the project without unnecessary delays and additional costs.
Our priority is a partnership approach with our clients, which doesn’t end with the final invoice. Even after the project is completed, if any issues arise, we’re ready to advise and help, because we’re committed to long-term collaboration. When advising, we’re guided by what we’d want if we were implementing the project ourselves. Our advantage lies not only in our professionalism, but also in our sense of responsibility for the client’s safety and comfort at every stage of our collaboration.
