Rework Draining Budget & Schedule: Why Unresolved Punch Items Cost Millions 

Few things derail a hotel project faster than rework. Every missed or sloppy fix means someone has to go back, redo the work, and recheck the results. Multiply that by 300–3,000 rooms and the costs explode.  

Industry data shows rework accounts for up to 5% of total project costs and drives over half of all schedule delays. For hotel owners and operators, that means blown budgets and missed opening dates—lost revenue nights they’ll never get back. 

The Hidden Costs of Rework

  • Labor Waste: Crews spend hours revisiting the same rooms and chasing the same defects. 
  • Budget Creep: Materials and overtime pile up with each round of fixes. 
  • Schedule Delays: Open snags snowball into missed turnovers and delayed openings. 
  • Guest Risk: If issues linger until after opening, defects become guest complaints.
