Construction and infrastructure projects don’t operate on short timelines. Ours run for years. Yet for a long time, we relied on short-term drafting contractors offshore—and paid the price.
Every time someone rotated out, project knowledge disappeared. Documentation quality dropped. Rework increased. Project managers spent more time fixing handovers than moving work forward.
The turning point came when we stopped thinking in terms of “drafting help” and started thinking in terms of project continuity.
We embedded a long-term offshore project operations team that stayed with the same projects from start to finish. Same people. Same standards. Same memory.
Documentation stabilized almost immediately. Project teams stopped firefighting. Offshore stopped feeling external and started feeling embedded.
For long-cycle construction work, continuity isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s essential.
