Pre-Construction Services

During the pre-construction phase the project scope is defined which includes determining the feasibility of the project as a whole. Details are also reviewed and a plan is developed that includes all of the various phases of the construction project. This provides the client and the team with a big picture view which helps to envision the finished project. It also assists in determining if everyone is on the same page at each stage of the project.

During pre-construction collaborative meetings take place that include the team of designers, contractors and engineers who work together to plan each phase of the project. Many meeting are held round table style allowing each team member to openly discuss ideas and get feedback from the others on the team. Any concerns can be addressed at this time to help prevent unexpected delays. Because teamwork and collaboration are emphasized, the likelihood of buy-in is increased.

When a cohesive team works together from the planning stages to the projects completion, it builds a platform for regular communication. When the transfer of information and ideas is a collaborative effort this will often eliminate the need for re-work. With a formal plan in place that includes budgets, schedules, and designs there is little to no need for any member of the team to second guess during decision making processes.

A thorough budget estimate is developed during the pre-construction phase as well, which is reviewed by each member of the team. If any alterations need to be made to the budget, then the team will meet and go over potential changes and make determinations.

Scheduling goals are completed during the pre-construction phase in order to provide the client with a detailed timeline of the projects’ start, progression, and completion estimates. Due to the collaborative nature of the pre-construction team, everyone is able to review and determine the best timeline for the project at each phase, as well as the time to complete the project from start to finish.
