How often do construction projects go exactly as planned? Delays, budget overruns, and resource misallocations are more common than most teams would like to admit. The root of these issues always lies in neglecting certain aspects of construction project forecasting, leading to inaccurate assumptions and limited visibility into what’s ahead.
