Preconstruction Process

 

We believe it is important to establish ourselves as an integral part of your team very early in the process. And the reasons are simple. We’ve had the opportunity to learn from every project we’ve been involved in, and we work with both client and the design team to leverage the full benefit of our expertise.

One obvious example: our preconstruction goal is not limited to simply defining project parameters such as cost and schedule. While this is an important step, of even greater importance is our ability to help identify and actively plan for construction issues that may place the budget and schedule objectives at risk.

The preconstruction phase allows us to thoroughly evaluate a number of factors – and to provide the following expertise to benefit your project:

• Preconstruction Phase Management

• Cost Budgeting

• Cost Estimating

• Value Analysis and Management

• Constructability Analysis

• Existing Conditions Analysis

• Building Information Modeling

• Virtual Design Collaboration

• Schedule Development

• Disruption Avoidance Planning

• SWMBE/HUB Participation

• LEED/Sustainability Management

• Bidding and Bid Packaging

• Site Logistics Planning

• Construction Buyout

• Construction Phase Sequencing

• Multiple Bid Package Planning

• Real-Time Cost Feedback

• Total Cost of Ownership Analysis

At award, our Preconstruction Team fully engages at all levels to evaluate and plan a comprehensive and successful execution of the project. This team includes a Director of Preconstruction, Chief Estimator, Project Lead Estimator, Senior Project Manager, and Project Manager. They participate in the kickoff of the project and the implementation planning effort. The resulting plan is then presented to the Owner and Design teams for fine-tuning and buy-in. The execution plan provides the team with an agreed-upon schedule, budget, and sequence of services and deliverables for each team member to understand and commit to.
