3 Answers

Lankeela, that happens on MOST projects and is sort of expected.
you always want things to run to quality/time/budget, but that hardly ever happens - you cant always get all 3 (in fact hardly ever) and you have to compromise on one thing. As most people don't want to compormise on quality, and have a reasonably fixed budget, it's the time that usually slips

But surely measuring where something is going to go is a crucial part of any project - one of the worst for this is DIY SOS The Big Build - they build walls and doors then find something won't fit through them. With so called experts wouldn't you think that measuring is a basic concept they should be able to get right?
