What causes delays between technology and building trades?

Project Coordination and Related Trades · 2026-05-20

Delays often occur when cable routes, power, door hardware, mounting surfaces, internet services or access dates are not ready in the required sequence. Late design changes and unclear responsibility can also leave one contractor waiting for another.

Many technology projects cross trade boundaries. Cameras may need power or structural mounting, access control may require locksmith work, AV may depend on cabinetry and electrical services, and phone or network cutovers may depend on an internet provider. Pacific can nominate a technical contact, communicate requirements to related trades, stage its work around the project program and test the interfaces that sit within its agreed scope.
