Every district knows the story. The bids come in, the scope changes, costs go up, and the final product doesn't last as long as anyone expected.
Change orders and scope creep mean the number you take to the board is rarely the number you end up paying.
Multi-trade coordination, weather delays, and on-site complications push projects past deadlines and into the athletic season.
Wood-frame dugouts deteriorate fast. Rot, repainting, and structural repairs add up year after year.
