A client of mine asked me today about helping him sort through a very complex contract to fit up his new swim school.
Obviously, the construction industry is perfect, right?
Wrong.
Here’s what I wrote him:
This is scary for everyone.
The four major things that can often go wrong in this biz are:
1. Zoning/building permit/use issues,
2. Cost overruns and change orders,
3. Delays in completion and
4. Deficiencies in workmanship.
If the tech industry was like real estate, every time you leave home with your smartphone, you’d have three or four semitrailers full of knobs and tubes following you to make the thing work.
Can you send me some info in advance?
We’ll compare your three location options, the impact of a competitor entering the market and work through your construction contract with a view to at least anticipating and mitigating the worst of the problems you’ll encounter.
