Project Updates
Q: How can I stay informed about the project's progress?
A: We encourage you to sign up for email notifications and check our website regularly for the latest updates and news about the project.
Delays
Q: Why do public construction projects often experience delays?
A: Public construction projects are complex and are planned based on the best available information at the time. However, these projects are designed with inherently limited data, which can lead to unforeseen challenges. When construction begins, it's not uncommon for unexpected field conditions to emerge. These can range from discovering unsuitable soil that requires reinforcement to unanticipated underground utilities that need to be rerouted. Such discoveries necessitate changes to the original plans. Implementing these changes can be time-consuming and require additional design work, approval processes, and sometimes legal clearances. All these factors contribute to delays in the project timeline, as the primary goal is to ensure the construction is completed safely and to the required standards, even if it takes longer than initially anticipated.
