What is a consequence of not addressing complications during a restoration project?

Not addressing complications during a restoration project can lead to increased project costs. When complications arise, such as unforeseen damage or equipment malfunctions, and they are not resolved promptly and effectively, the project timeline can extend. This often results in additional labor costs, equipment rental fees, and potentially higher material costs due to delays.

Furthermore, neglected issues may escalate, creating more extensive damage that would require even more significant resources and efforts to repair later. By contrast, addressing complications early on can help to mitigate these costs, keeping the project within budget and on schedule. Improved project efficiency, uninformed client decisions, and enhanced compliance are less likely to be direct consequences of failing to deal with complications compared to the direct financial implications.
