5 Major Problems in the Construction:
1. Poor Productivity
This occurs from a wide range of issues, including:

• Idle time due to late or insufficient supply shipments.
• Construction vehicles breaking down.
• Frequent inclement weather.
• Design complications arising midway during construction.
• Friction between the different stakeholders (e.g., owner and contractor).

2. Rising Cost of Materials

• Moreover, the most significant year-over-year (YoY) increases were in steel mill products (such as beams, pipes, plates, etc.) and iron and steel at 19.8% and 17.6%, respectively.
• The macro (combing all materials) long-term trend for costs is climbing upward, but the micro (individual materials) short-term trends are unpredictable.

3. Poor Project Performance
The factors above have two significant impacts on the performance of construction projects: the risk of going over budget and the risk of failing to deliver within specified timelines.
4. Skilled Labor Shortages
The drawback of lacking skilled labor is that it affects your output and ability to meet deadlines, which puts you at risk of falling behind your competitors.
5. Sustainability & Efficiency
This will be essential as energy efficiency gains will help lower long-term operating costs and emissions. Likewise, a switch to some sustainable building materials may help offset the demand for certain steel products and other resource-intensive supplies.
