What Could Weather Delays
Cost Your Build?
Every day a stick-built frame sits open to Victoria's rain window is a day of standing crew time, protected materials, and a construction schedule pushed back. Set your own assumptions below to estimate the exposure - then see how a prefab panel install cuts that window down.
A rule-of-thumb range for Greater Victoria's wetter months - adjust for your build season.
Standing crew and equipment time, protected-materials cost, or construction loan interest for that day.
This is a rough estimate based on the numbers you enter, not a weather forecast or guaranteed schedule - actual delay exposure varies by season, site, and crew.
