Pre Construction

Design Vision & Objectives  In coordination with the architect, we assist our clients in qualifying and quantifying their design vision and program objectives using existing conditions, preliminary budget, and schedule constraints.  

Design Development  A transitional phase where we'll  work closely with our client's architect, engineers, and specialty consultants that help crystalize their design vision and program requirements through the schematic, design, and final construction document stages.  

Budget Development  At project inception, a master budget is created.  As the project moves through design phases, estimates of constructability and finishes are evaluated to decipher where cost savings can occur.  We continually update the budget to allow our clients to make educated decisions. 

Scheduling  We prepare and maintain a master project schedule that incorporates all design phases, approvals, construction activities, procurement, and turn over to our client.  We establish critical path work, key decision dates and track planned work to actual progress.  The schedule is also set up to inform our client of future funding requirements.

Approvals & Permits  During the pre-construction phase we manage and organize the approval and permitting process by coordinating the efforts of the architect, engineer and consultants to provide the necessary paperwork and plans needed by the jurisdictional authorities.

Contract Negotiation & Bidding  We fully manage the negotiation of business terms of contracts with all subcontractors and any vendor or consultant our client may choose to do business with .  As part of the bidding process, we prepare requests for proposals in order to receive competitive bids, analyze and clarify responses, conduct interviews, and make recommendations to  our client for selection.
