Contractors, What's Your Biggest Frustration with Architects, Clients, and Staff?

Hey everyone,

I’m curious to hear about the challenges you face as contractors when dealing with architects, clients, and your own team. There are so many moving parts in a project, and it’s always insightful to hear different perspectives on where things tend to go wrong.

1. Architects: Do you find that design changes or lack of clear communication slow things down? What are the common pain points when working with architects on-site or in the planning stages?
2. Clients: Are unrealistic budgets or project timelines a constant struggle? How do you handle clients who change their mind frequently or don’t fully understand construction constraints?
3. Staff: What’s the most challenging aspect of managing your crew or subcontractors? Is it keeping everyone on the same page, handling skill gaps, or something else?

Would love to hear your experiences, frustrations, and any tips on how to make these relationships smoother! Looking forward to your insights.
