Edmonton, AB (April 9, 2025) – In the world of surveying and geomatics, precision isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. A miscalculation in data, a change in personnel mid-project, or inconsistent processes can lead to costly errors, delays, and inefficiencies. That’s why consistency is one of the biggest advantages when working with a large, well-established firm like GeoVerra.
With 23 offices across Canada, spanning from British Columbia to Ontario, GeoVerra offers a level of stability, expertise, and scalability that ensures projects stay on track. But what does consistency truly mean for our clients, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.
The Risks of Inconsistency in Large-Scale Projects
Projects that lack consistency—whether in staffing, processes, or data management—are more likely to experience:
- Errors and rework – When project teams change frequently, knowledge gaps emerge, increasing the chance of mistakes. Studies from Dodge Data & Analytics show that projects with inconsistent teams face 34% more delays due to miscommunication and inefficiencies.
- Missed deadlines – A lack of standardized processes means teams waste time getting up to speed rather than moving forward efficiently. McKinsey & Co. reports that consistent project teams increase efficiency by up to 30%.
- Budget overruns – Inconsistent processes often lead to scope creep, increased labor costs, and expensive rework. Research shows that projects with consistent teams reduce rework costs by 15-20%.
In industries like energy, transportation, utilities, industrial, municipal, and mining, where projects span years and involve multiple stakeholders, maintaining consistency is critical to ensuring long-term success.
