PRECONSTRUCTION
Put your best foot forward.
To acquire the proper expertise for every aspect of your project’s planning, construction costs & schedule, the pre-construction stage is the most crucial. We truly embody and execute an “all hands-on deck” approach to ensure we fully understand your needs.
In the pre-construction phase, our focus is on developing scope, preliminary schedule and evaluating costs to execute a project. Our overall analysis includes breaking down design costs (when applicable), support in schematic/sustainable design development, scheduling, providing evaluations, site studies, value engineering, constructability reviews, local authority coordination, permitting and much more.
Since our construction teams actively work around the country in many states, our pre-construction team is able to gather the latest and most relevant information based on those specific markets. We take pride in the very strong relationships we have built with subcontractors & vendors which allows us to offer valuable, real time market data as well as competitive bidding.
Since we self-perform civil work, we have a front row seat to real time data and cost information for site evaluation and selection. Everything from complex utility systems to large earth movements, we can help guide our client’s decision-making process that helps them select the most suitable site.
