The Cost Of Construction Delays

Construction delay claims are a common occurrence in the construction industry throughout Southern California and San Diego. A construction delay claim can easily jeopardize a construction project by raising costs and delaying a return on profit. With the amount of construction professionals involved in building projects, combined with variables such as material costs and weather, some construction delays are to be expected.
