To ensure that the longevity, structural integrity and safety of any building you construct, you must avoid these eight shortcuts commonly undertaken by many people. Reasons for taking these shortcuts that are costly in the long run might differ from one person to another. But, they often revolve around either saving costs or reducing expenditures in the wrong way or working with an unprofessional team. At Francsoft Construction Company Limited, we avoid these pitfalls in the form of common shortcuts other people take. This way, we ensure that your dreams are implemented from conception to creation.

1. Inadequate or Totally Skipping Soil Testing

Any building is as good as its foundation before other factors are considered. Therefore, when one takes shortcuts when it comes to soil testing and constructs a building on unstable grounds or soil, calamity is bound. Most common disasters include foundation issues, cracks, uneven settlement and even sometimes the total collapse of the entire building. At Francsoft, we emphasize on quality, safe and professional soil and ground testing before we proceed with any construction. We ensure your building lasts for many years helping you build legacy structures. This way, we ensure the safety of the persons who use the building too.

2. Using Cheap and/or Sub-Standard Materials

This problem occurs when either the building owner or the engineering team present decides to save costs in a wrong way that compromises the safety of the building achieved. As a building owner, you should note that there is a limit to how low you can take the costs of building materials. Beyond a certain point, you can only compromise the integrity and longevity as well as safety of your building. Additionally, do not strain getting professional team that ensures quality and safe materials are used, contact us at Francsoft today.

3. Ignoring Building Codes, Regulations and Permits

Never ever take shortcuts when it comes to building codes, regulations and permits. Doing so only results in safety hazards, future demolition orders and fines as well as other legal liabilities Work with Francsoft to ensure you have all necessary documents and adhere to all existing county building codes, regulations and permits including those of national environmental management authority (NEMA) and National Construction Authority (NCA). When it comes to legalities of your building, we are dependable professionals that ensure your peace of mind, now and in the future.

4. Insufficient Foundation Design and Construction

The foundation of any building is the most important component. A good foundation translates into a good building if all other factors and parts are held constant, and vice versa is true. You need good and professional experts like at Francsoft to ensure your foundation is properly designed and constructed. Notably, that’s why we ensure that our starting point is always excellent soil and ground stability testing, as mentioned before. This way, we can be sure to design and build a foundation that can hold your desired building without any future issues.

5. Lack of Good Quality Control

Again, in construction there is quantity when it comes to materials, people and other resources but quality should never be compromised. There needs to be proper supervision structure in place to ensure quality control is done for every resource used and process performed. Here, we pride ourselves as Francsoft Construction Company Limited as leader in ensuring quality and safe buildings. We have a team of quality control and surveyors who ensure that the right amounts, quality and costs are balanced for your building. We understand the need to save costs for the client thus we do so by seeking to optimize market pricing and building construction needs. Never take the shortcut of compromising quality control, work with us today.

6. Inadequate Curing of Concrete

Concrete requires not only the right mixing of materials and water but also sufficient time and moisture to cure properly to full design strength. This process though seen by most people, both experts and unqualified persons, as simple and obvious is very essential to create good buildings and structures in the long run. Proper concrete curing cannot be compromised if someone wants excellent results; hence, never take this shortcut.

7. Ignoring Safety Protocols at a Construction Site

Whether it is taking shortcuts when it comes to installing the right formworks and other supportive structures to storage of materials in a safe way to using personally protective equipment (PPE), all actions are dangerous. Accidents experienced in a building or construction site have many legal and reputation liabilities. Also, they disrupt building operations and morale of workers leading to poor work being done. At Francsoft, we ensure that our workers are well protected when working with the right PPE, the right supportive structures and other safety protocols and proper storage of materials. Also, we ensure that our building or organization sites are well organized to ensure maximum safety achievable and ease of operations.

8. Poor Electrical and Plumbing Works

Any building requires some plumbing and/or electrical works at least to be function. When shortcuts are taken when completing such works including ignoring safety, compromising quality of materials and poor completed works, hazards and overall quality of buildings are bound to occur. For example, it is easy to have major water or sewage spillages that destroy buildings or electrical incidences causing fires, electrical shocks and other issues if such is the case.
