Having supportive stakeholders is key in a project’s success. While you might initially have a strong foundation for your project effort’s, communication gaps between stakeholders and the other parties on a project can cause delays and overruns, costing you time and money. Poor visibility from a stakeholder perspective is often a major culprit in why projects fail to meet budgets and timeframes.
Why are Stakeholders So Important in Construction?
Stakeholders are the heartbeat of any construction project. They’re the ones actively involved with projects, and have something to gain or lose as a result of the project’s success. Many times, there are more than one stakeholder on a project – more stakeholders mean more stress, as well as makes your project more complex. Stakeholders agreeing (or disagreeing!) on a project further influences a project’s complexity.
Building strong, trusting relationships between all parties on a construction project from the start can make the difference between project success and failure.
