Most delays come from one of three sources: variances and HOA approvals during the design phase, mid-construction surprises like undocumented load-bearing walls, and damaged or back-ordered materials. As of April 2026, Kingdom & Co. mitigates this by waiting until materials are delivered before starting the project where possible, but a damaged chandelier or wrong-color fan shipment can still add three weeks to the final completion date. The key signal of a well-run project: even when individual items get delayed, the overall job site keeps moving on parallel work streams.
