Language barriers are costing you more than you think
Every day, miscommunication leads to costly mistakes, frustrated teams, and unhappy customers. Here's what we hear from Construction professionals:
Safety Incidents from Miscommunication
When safety instructions get lost in translation, workers get hurt. OSHA violations pile up, projects get shut down, and your reputation takes a hit.
30% of construction accidents involve miscommunication
Costly Rework from Unclear Instructions
Wrong materials installed. Work done out of sequence. Dimensions misunderstood. Every miscommunication costs thousands in rework and delays.
Rework costs 5-10% of total project value
Project Delays from Communication Gaps
When crews can't communicate with supervisors, small issues become big delays. Questions go unanswered, problems escalate, and schedules slip.
Communication issues cause 25% of project delays
Difficulty Managing Multilingual Crews
Your best workers speak Spanish, Portuguese, or other languages. But coordinating them feels impossible when you can't communicate directly.
40% of construction workers are non-native English speakers
Subcontractor Coordination Nightmares
Coordinating multiple subs with different language backgrounds turns simple scheduling into chaos. Changes don't get communicated, conflicts arise.
Poor sub coordination is the #1 cause of disputes
Client Communication Barriers
When clients speak different languages, explaining change orders, delays, or issues becomes frustrating. Misunderstandings lead to disputes and payment delays.
Miscommunication causes 60% of client disputes
