Minimizing Asphalt Construction Delays.

Plan Ahead

First and foremost, plan ahead. Consider your business’s schedule for high-traffic events, but also look into slower or less occupied dates, which work best for these kinds of renovations. Environmental obstacles, such as the season and upcoming weather conditions, can lengthen the job if they’re not factored in.

And don’t forget about events that may be in your area. Retail sales, school tournaments, final exams, week-long camps, and holidays can cause congestion around your location, reducing the number of alternative parking spots or courts available to your guests.

Be Mindful of Other Construction

Are there other construction projects on site that might interfere with your contractors’ ability to work efficiently or have access to the site? Make sure that your work isn’t going to be inhibited by other potential repairs.

Have a Traffic Management Plan

Clear the space and establish a traffic management plan for the duration of the project. Vehicles, equipment, and other obstacles have to be removed from the area for the job to commence. Clear detours should be posted to direct foot traffic and vehicles around the area, avoiding interference with the drying surface. We also suggest sending a letter or memo to those who will be affected, so they can plan ahead and avoid the construction area with ease.

Stick to the Plan

Stick to the plan and avoid last-minute changes. As emphasized above, organizing these projects can be complex, and last-minute changes often require new work dates, permits, and notifying many people. Do your best to stick with your original plan, and if you have no other option but to make changes, get in touch with your point of contact as soon as possible.
