This new research reveals that nearly all contractors struggle with construction quality issues like errors, omissions and rework. However, contractors can improve their performance by investing in tangible, real strategies that improve collaboration and coordination on the jobsite, including policies to foster collaboration, tools that assist with trade contractor coordination and access to accurate, timely and complete data onsite. Some top findings include:
