Preconstruction
Construction projects are increasingly focused on identifying cost savings, minimizing delays, maintaining budget control and collaborating with labor. The value of preconstruction services is becoming more apparent.
Market volatility and inflation have added complexity to construction initiatives. Combined with labor shortages and supply chain issues, turbulent market conditions have become a new normal. Our preconstruction team can identify commodities with volatile pricing and equipment with long lead times to lock in the lowest possible price and place orders to get manufacturing underway so that critical components are delivered to the job site at precisely the time required.
Strategy for Success
Engaging the preconstruction team at the start of the design phase can pay big dividends throughout the project duration. After identifying project scope, budget and schedule and gaining a clear understanding of project needs, our team establishes a collaborative design-build environment that can help facilitate target value design.
This helps identify which design packages should be prioritized for earlier procurement and allows the team to analyze the design for constructability and potential real-time value engineering options, which in turn allows earlier cost certainty and earlier project completion.
Our preconstruction team provides progressive cost estimates, early procurement packages and constructability reviews throughout the design phase. This early collaboration helps prevent post-issued-for-construction value engineering, providing a continuous pulse on budget and schedule.
Budget and Schedule Certainty
When budgets are tight and schedules unforgiving, the preconstruction team can provide a view forward for the critical pathways needed for predictable cost, quality and schedule outcomes.
