As we all know, the season of the year has an impact on many types of work and jobs depending on the weather and more. For example, some flower and gardening jobs may be affected during the summer season because the weather is extremely hot and this affects not only the growth and development of flowers but also the job performance of the workers during that time of the year.
Because we know how much the winter season might affect construction projects, in particular, we want to talk to you a little bit about this. We will not only show you how AG can take advantage of this time and not be left behind during the project, but we would also like to help other contractors that might go through the same issue during the winter season, we want all of you to succeed with us, so stay tuned and keep reading this short but really helpful blog!
The Winter Season
Why is it hard in construction?
The winter season can get really hard during the winter season because of how it affects the jobs that are being done during this time of the year. It can be really hard to move around or even do anything if the weather is not friendly, but there are some things you need to know about winter construction projects and how they work along with what might affect them.
Some of the aspects that get affected during the season are:
- Outdoors construction: Any type of outdoor process might get affected because even though Florida doesn’t get that cold, it’s not usual to work in this type of weather that can get to 53F. This can directly affect the development of the workers to get things done as easily and as fast as they used to. But also, the cold wind can make it hard for painting processes to dry out as easily as they do in summer or other seasons, so if we start painting during winter, this might not help the project but delay it.
- Finding the correct materials: It might get hard to find the correct materials that will be perfect for your project if you didn’t order them with anticipation. During this time, people leave for vacations, and businesses close for Christmas breaks, so this definitely delays the delivery of some types of materials that are harder to find than others.
Duties to get done during winter
There are a lot of jobs that can get done during winter in the process of getting a project executed and done. If you don’t want your project to be delayed or have any issues with the clients because the delivery date was postponed, you need to make sure that you are able to take advantage of every season and, depending on it, get the correct tasks done.
Here are some winter jobs that AG can do for you:
Windows installation: It is easier to get windows and doors installed during winter because all of the outdoors phases of the project get delayed, so you can take advantage of this time and get indoor windows and doors installed.
Drainage Systems: Take advantage of this time to install all of the drainage system details. This is indoor work so it is easier to get done in a faster way because all of the other processes are a little delayed so you can take all of the time to focus on these details.
Ventilation Systems: Ventilation systems are the ultimate job to be done during winter! It is a really easy job to get done if there’s knowledge in the topic, and because it is a process that doesn’t need any outdoor process, it can get done really easily and really fast.
Flooring Installation: If winter has arrived, winter flooring installation is the perfect process to get done. All of the workers are inside because all outdoor jobs are harder to get done for many reasons, cold weather, strong winds, and more, this means to can take advantage of it and get all of the floorings installations done so that when spring comes, you’ve already advanced in the project and this way the outcomes and results are not delayed.
In conclusion, you should definitely have a plan before the winter season arrives. This way your clients won’t be unsatisfied because of delayed results, and also you can still get jobs done and take advantage of the indoor season. Make sure you’re guided by a professional team of contractors that can guide you through the entire process and help you get all of the phases of the project done in the most efficient way.
