Spain attracts property buyers from all around the world, tempted by the sunshine, beaches, rich culture and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle.
The attraction of owning a contemporary custom home is at the top of many wish lists. However, some people are put off by the amount of time it can take to build a house, which depending on the size can take between 14 and 18 months. There is also the added the knock-on effect of budget overruns caused by delays.
72% of property construction projects are delayed
According to a white paper (Identifying the Global Performance of the Construction Industry) on average 72% of all property construction projects experience delays. These delays cause average cost increases of around 24% for 63% of these builds.
When costing a construction project, it is a common practice to factor in a 25% contingency within the budget for overruns due to unforeseen events. If you are building a luxury custom home with a 1€million plus price tag, this level of contingency represents a hefty chunk of your budget.
So, imagine how much simpler and cost effective it would be if you could build a house within a guaranteed timeframe and within the agreed budget, eliminating the prospect of delays and budget overruns. Until recently this was just a pipedream, but today, it is possible due to the introduction of m2Casas’ Execution Project system.
How an Execution Project prevents delays
Many of the delays in a building project can be avoided by professional planning and foresight. For example, a project manager needs to be on top of every process, from ensuring you have sourced a plot of land with planning permission and that architectural plans are signed off and submitted to get the necessary permits.
By ensuring all architectural decisions have been agreed before construction begins, it prevents unnecessary delays and costs. For example, if a client hasn’t fully decided on a layout or materials, it is impossible to order the required building materials in advance, if contractors are prevented from accessing the site, this can have a knock-on effected on the budget and timeframe. All delays cost money; architects, construction teams, suppliers, lawyers, surveyors, project managers all need to be paid.
