We believe that working with and providing guidance and evaluation to our clients and related design professionals prior to implementation; streamlines the construction process and allows inefficiencies and gaps in the construction documents to be identified and refined saving our clients money and time.
During the preconstruction process we provide:
Value engineering, recommendations and analysis regarding materials, finishes, equipment, building systems and constructability.
The latest technology and methods to obtain the greatest cost savings and efficiencies for labor and materials, verification of availability of materials and labor for prime trades, information on work force obligations and jurisdictional review.
Preliminary cost estimates broken down by trade at varying points of the design development.
Preparation of schedules including key milestones, critical path and bar charts that point out long lead items and critical decision points.
Pre-purchasing and manufacture of long lead items.
Systems for cost reports, information distribution, general conditions control and management, record keeping systems for cost control.
Construction feasibility analysis, recommendations for offsite manufacturing and pre-assembly for reduction of labor cost and reduced project duration.
Site specific logistical planning for the most efficient and cost effective flow of materials, equipment and labor to the site.
Recommendations for safety programs and required temporary facilities.
Preparation of bid packages and prequalification of suppliers and subcontractors.
