Managing Construction Risk: Adapting to Weather, Supply Chain Disruptions, and Shifting Conditions
In commercial construction, conditions can change fast—and those changes can cost more than just time. At D. Honoré Construction, we believe that risk management isn’t just a checklist—it’s a mindset. From unpredictable weather to material delays and shifting jobsite needs, the ability to quickly adapt is critical to keeping projects on track.
Weather Delays: Plan for the Unpredictable
While we can’t control the weather, we can control how we respond to it. Rain, extreme heat, and high humidity—common in Baton Rouge and across Louisiana—can impact curing times, site accessibility, and worker safety. That’s why we use job-specific weather tracking and maintain flexible scheduling plans that allow our teams to pivot when necessary without compromising quality or safety.
Supply Chain Disruptions: Proactive Procurement Matters
Material shortages and delayed shipments have become a recurring challenge across the industry. Our team closely monitors the supply chain and maintains strong relationships with trusted suppliers. By forecasting demand and ordering early when possible, we help minimize delays—and when issues do arise, we’re ready with backup plans and alternate sourcing strategies to keep progress moving.
On-Site Adaptability: Real-Time Decisions, Real Results
Commercial job sites are dynamic environments. New site conditions, evolving scopes, or last-minute design changes can derail a project without the right team in place. Our self-performing crews are experienced in making smart, on-the-ground decisions in real time—whether it’s reworking a pour schedule or adjusting formwork based on new field conditions.

For over two decades, D. Honoré Construction has built a reputation on trust, integrity, and getting the job done right—even when circumstances change. Our proactive approach to risk management means our clients have a reliable partner who anticipates problems before they become costly and finds smart, timely solutions when conditions shift.
