Pre-construction services can provide owners with a formal approach for developing cost, scope, and schedule to execute the construction on time and in control.
The pre-construction, or design phase, is central to the success of the entire project. Yes, the entire project’s success is built upon the process before the first brick is even set in place. We develop a thorough process of understanding the project, outline a strategy, and assemble a dedicated team to get the job done. Before the project begins, we develop a thorough understanding of the chief’s business goals and align the project goals accordingly. Learn what the pre-construction phase is and what it takes to truly have the project under control.
What does the process entail?
Meeting with the client is imperative to the process because they are defining the project, and we get a better sense of whom we are working with. Finding out the objectives, and resolving any questions that the client may have is important as well.
