The Challenge

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
