Understanding Construction Mistake Costs

Why Costs Multiply

Construction mistakes require demolition of completed work, purchasing new materials, and paying for additional labor. What costs $200 to fix on paper can cost $2,000+ to fix in reality.

Time Delays

Beyond direct costs, mistakes cause project delays. In El Salvador's construction market, delays can extend timelines by weeks or months, increasing overall project costs.

Prevention is Key

A thorough plan review before construction starts can identify and prevent most of these costly issues. The investment in professional review pays for itself many times over.
