Material delays have been a significant concern lately, and members shared how they are adapting to supply chain disruptions. “We’ve had delays on everything from basic wood materials to specialty items,” one member shared, echoing the frustration felt by many. To manage these delays, it was suggested that manufacturers diversify their suppliers and keep a buffer stock of critical materials.
Clear communication with clients is also essential to maintain trust. As one person mentioned, “Always keep your clients updated. They appreciate the transparency and are more likely to be understanding if you’re upfront about delays.” This proactive approach ensures that clients remain in the loop and are less likely to become frustrated with unforeseen setbacks.
