I know all puntites especially @Yonis are frustrated at the lack of speed involved in projects. Projects that take a few months can take a year in PL. This is a massive problem for PL economic development if everything that is done is slow because it means you end up producing less over-all across every industry due to your slow speed.
This slow paced development effect everything from road developments to housing developments, anywhere I noticed there is a 'construction' phase, their is a huge problem in our production rate and it shouldn't be overlooked. Why does it take an Australian builder with a team of 5 only to complete the same house specification in 12 weeks, yet it takes PL to do such house over a year while utilizing far more labour force, it's usually like 20-30 people from what I seen on site for construction of what is basic homes.
I hope PL stops ignoring this critical aspect of economic recovery and development. It's not just the investor phase you should be concerned with, but the production speed of your work-force is clearly not in-line with world standards. Their has to be an investigation into this by the government and see what is causing this crippling slow pace. Is it bad construction practises, poor management, bad work culture, I still don't know what it is and that's why I hope the govt does a 'commission' on our market place and find out the rate of production over a time period such as an hour, day, week, month, year, etc.
We need to investigate this and find out how to speed up our production. Is it the equipment, training of workers, is it management who do not work on a schedule? is it poor project management to ensure tasks are achieved within a certain time-frame? with-out solving this problem, it can lead to less development because investors and donors prefer construction follows a time-table that is based on tasks and deliverables so they can keep their costs measured, if you do not provide this sort of construction management plans, it can lead to people walking away as it's to risky to invest because it's not measurable according to a time-frame.
Are the workers not following a schedule and methodology? is it the 'materials' which is causing time problems especially if it's imported. PL needs to do an investigation into this and provide a solution where the problem is, so things can be done quickly. The longer u take on a project, the more costs involved is well known, so being quick in production means more value for money, especially if your working to a budget, you need to ensure there is no production flaws in your society or else it could lead to a blow out of the budget assigned. The budget takes into consideration materials, labour which is 'fixed costs' but what isn't 'fixed' is the 'time' and if you do not follow proper project management methodologies, it could mean more time goes into the project and more time means more labour costs.
If the construction staff need training, bring in the right trainers to show them how to be productive with their time. Have a manager ensure the workers are achieving the tasks based on the hourly deliverables or daily deliverables or weekly deliverables. What has been measured and agreed has to be delivered and you need to keep the investors in the loop with status reports when key phases have been done.
