The financial impact of delivery disputes extends far beyond the job site.
The Problem
One of the most common and costly issues in Division 8 occurs when materials are delivered, but the job-site claims they never arrived. Whether misplaced, dropped in the wrong location, or overlooked entirely, the result is the same:
Labor costs accumulate as crews wait for a resolution to "missing" materials.
Materials are reordered unnecessarily, often at your company's expense.
Payments are delayed while billing disputes are resolved.
Weakened relationships with contractors jeopardize future opportunities.
Margins erode across the project.
These disputes aren't minor inconveniences. They are recurring profit leaks that drain resources, disrupt schedules, and weaken contractor relationships.
