How to Deal with Construction Delays

Posted by Chandak Group on February 11th, 2020

Have you been in that situation when you are all set with your schedule to move into your new home and suddenly you hear that heart breaking news of a construction delay? This can not only tumble your plan for the near future but will also make you skeptical of the Builders in Mumbai.

Buying an under-construction home is always a risk and a stressful decision as well. The old saying “there is many a slip between the cup and the lip” is so true for such homes. Everything from the local weather, the strikes/hartals, g0vt policies, etc. can have an impact on planned construction schedule. While some times the slight delays are acceptable, the problem becomes grave when there are other activities planned around it, like an expiring lease, school admissions, relocations, etc. Why take a risk in Mumbai, when you have the option to choose from luxury and budget homes by one of the best Builders in Mumbai,the Chandak Group.

While there are no sure-shot ways of anticipating a construction delay, there are certain ways available to make these delays less impactful on your life. But it is important to note that not all points mentioned will be suitable for you. Read further for more details and try to analyze if it suits you.

1.Define Your Expectations

Clear communication is a must between you and the builder. Have a neat and detailed discussion with the chosen Builders in Mumbai regarding the construction schedule and how they plan to deal with unforeseen construction delays. Take the time to establish your expectations and hear the builder’s perspective too. Be realistic about your expectations. Certain factors such as bad weather, trade union strikes are completely out of builder control. Anticipating short delays and being realistic can save you from future frust rations.

2. Plan the Schedule

Make sure you have some wiggle room for events such as the sale of your existing home or mortgage closing or the relocation time lines. A tight schedule could cause a big effect if a construction delay by Builders in Mumbai pushes your home completion dates. By adding a month or two between the project completion date and your other tasks, you can rest a little, knowing that one bad day will not ruin your entire schedule.

3. Use Quality Contractors

Whether your Builders in Mumbai are lining up the contractors or you are hiring a few for your self to do some modification or interior works, it is important to scout them thoroughly. While a few days’delay is no one's fault, scheduling issues arising due to workers not showing up or the workers taking up more time than the projected duration may cause a delay. Discuss with your builder regarding these issues and keep monitoring the progress.

4. Minimize Changes

Making choices regarding your to be home can be a tough call. Expectations are always high, and many ideas come time and again. But, once the agreement is signed with the Builders in Mumbai and the construction begins, any changes you make to your home can cause a delay. What might seem to be a small change to you like a change in the door or switch position can cause a huge change to the in frast ructure, product order, and the planned engineering. Chandak Group in Mumbai offers you the option to alter parts of your home as per your wish. However, try to spend more time during the design process to ensure you are completely satisfied before the construction hits the floor.

5. Extend the Closing Date

Closing refers to the closing of the mortgage payments or leasesif any. For those living in rental or leased homes, it would be advisable to keep your closing dates flexible to accommodate the construction and financial delays. You can also avoid a situation where you may end up with double payments for both the new and the old accommodation.

With everything said and done, there are still a handful of Builders in Mumbai like the Chandak Group who promise to deliver the project to its buyers at the right time. The construction of a building starts from the pilling and ends with the interior décor before you can move in. Each phase has its own challenges. Anticipate these delays and be prepared to handle them gracefully.

This preparedness will make sure life and transition to the new home are smooth and stress-free. So, if you are planning to buy a new home, or have already purchased an under-construction property, keep a tab on the schedule and the work in progress. It is your home and you do not want to take any chances.
