Timing is critical, communication is everything. For instance, moving a building on a site may require different footings from structural. Failing to tell structural right away may cause huge delays and cost over runs. Or maybe having structural design the building later in the project eliminates redesign. I think extensive planning early on and continued involvement of all the disciplines helps elimate profit killers.

But the title was too good to pass up :) Mark Project Killers is strong language and I agree that it would take a lot more than these to actually “terminate” a project…

But the title was too good to pass up :)

I think you want to say Project Delayers, the only one that can kill a project is the owner or client. What you discribe are just problems of everyday work flow. Project Killers?
