Reasons for Bankruptcy in House Manufacturing

Are you familiar with stories where a large investment fund or group of investors pours enormous amounts of money into the development of a modular factory, only for the company to lose everything and go bankrupt after a few years?

Or, for instance, a small production facility that steadily increased its volumes year after year suddenly disappears one day, and the team of specialists scatters to competitors?

Here's a brief list of reasons for the bankruptcy and downfall of most modular factories.

I hope none of you see anything resembling your own production here:

  1. Incorrect project assessment (budget, estimate) before signing the contract;
  2. Accepting new, more valuable jobs with lower profitability to cover previous losses, maintaining a fictitious factory workload;
  3. Carrying out a large number of low-profit jobs within limited delivery times, leading to increased overtime payments and material overspending;
  4. Lack of coordination between contractors and the production team;
  5. Design errors leading to rework and modifications on the construction site;
  6. Delays in construction permits;
  7. Lack of basic construction knowledge among production management;
  8. Insufficient working capital;
  9. Decreased efficiency due to lack of sales;
  10. Creating excessive inventory at the production site;
  11. Uncontrolled expansion of economic activities;
  12. Having loans on unfavorable terms;
  13. Unscrupulous clientele;
  14. Ultimately, too much funding without a solid business expansion plan!
