Spring is a season that’s synonymous with new beginnings, and for those in the construction industry, it’s also the ideal time to start new projects. When it comes to construction, a crucial element is to ensure that a comprehensive structural warranty is in place
Build Warranty® is the perfect partner for developers looking for comprehensive structural
warranty cover and technical support throughout the project that provides peace of mind when building new homes. Our tailored approach helps you find the right product to meet your project needs.
In this article, Build Warranty® explores some key benefits of starting new projects during
the spring months and things to consider before starting any construction project.
Spring offers ideal weather conditions for construction projects
Moderate temperatures, lower humidity levels and longer daylight hours provide a perfect environment for developers to take advantage of better working conditions. The mild weather conditions in spring ensure that concrete and other building materials dry properly and bond together better, reducing the risk of damage or delays due to inclement weather. Spring weather conditions are particularly advantageous for construction projects that involve outdoor work, such as landscaping, home extensions or new building developments.
Spring is the best time for site preparation, excavating and laying the foundation
The ground is not frozen, making excavating and levelling the site more accessible, and laying the foundation can begin smoothly. In addition, the soil’s ability to compact is at its best during spring, making it an ideal time to prepare the site for construction.
For example, grading and excavation for building projects can be completed faster and more efficiently in spring when the soil is softer and more pliable. This allows for faster completion times and can be particularly beneficial for projects with tight deadlines or requiring significant amounts of site preparation.
Building the superstructure
Building the superstructure can begin earnestly with the foundation and the site prepared. Spring weather conditions make it easier for construction crews to work safely and efficiently. With longer daylight hours, there’s more time for work to be completed, increasing productivity.
Additionally, spring weather makes it easier to operate heavy machinery, reducing the risk of accidents or delays due to equipment malfunction. Construction projects involving large structures, such as office buildings, factories or shopping centres, benefit significantly from starting in spring.
Here are some tips from Build Warranty® to consider before starting a construction
