How one missed instruction cascades across a construction programme 🧵
1/ Monday 9am: Engineer sends instruction via WhatsApp to move a structural post 200mm east before the footing pour.
2/ Message is seen. 12 people in the group. Three thumb reactions. Nobody creates a task.
3/ Tuesday 7am: Concrete crew arrives. They work from the last confirmed instructions. Nobody flagged the change. Pour proceeds.
4/ Tuesday 10am: Engineer arrives on site. Post is in the wrong position. Footing has been poured.
5/ Rectification: break up the footing, reposition, wait 48 hours for new concrete to cure.
6/ Programme impact: steel fixers rescheduled. Frame delayed. Roof delayed. Electrical and plumbing moved. Practical completion pushed 11 days.
7/ Total cost: $23,400 direct rectification $41,000 delay damages one client relationship that never fully recovered.
One WhatsApp message. One missing task. $64,000.
This is not unusual. This is Tuesday on Australian construction sites.
