Pre-Construction Services

Site Selection
Site selection is a vital step in pre-construction consulting where potential locations are assessed to determine their suitability for a project. Factors such as geography, accessibility, and regulatory compliance are considered to identify a site that optimizes cost, efficiency, and project goals. This process ensures that the chosen location aligns with strategic objectives, minimizes risks, and sets a solid foundation for future development phases. Overall, site selection lays the groundwork for successful project planning.
Feasibility and Estimating
The pre-construction phase involves two important steps: feasibility and estimating. The feasibility stage determines if the construction project is both technically and financially viable. We assess factors like site conditions, regulatory compliance, and overall project objectives to validate the project's potential for success. Once feasibility is established, we move on to estimating, which entails providing a detailed projection of costs. This includes materials, labor, equipment, and contingencies. This phase is foundational as it lays out a realistic budget framework and offers a clear, confident path forward.
Tenant or Buyer Advocacy
As a General Contractor with extensive experience managing hundreds of projects, we have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tenant leases and property purchases. Our services include lease analysis and negotiations with landlords to secure the most suitable lease package for our clients. Additionally, we represent clients in property acquisitions, ensuring that conditions are thoroughly evaluated and that the final product is delivered to the benefit of our clients.
Existing Condition Assessments
This review helps identify any pre-existing issues or limitations, ensuring they are addressed before work proceeds. It's a foundational step for a successful project, aimed at avoiding delays and ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the construction process.
Budgeting and Cost Analysis
This process helps identify potential cost overruns early on, allowing for adjustments before construction begins, which can save time and resources. Furthermore, it aids in making informed decisions on materials, labor, and other expenses, optimizing the allocation of resources for cost-efficiency. Additionally, a thorough budget and cost analysis can improve project planning and scheduling, reducing the likelihood of delays and increasing the project's overall success rate.
Risk Management
Risk Management is an essential process that involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential risks before starting a construction project. This approach helps ensure that the project remains on schedule, within budget, and complies with quality and regulatory standards. Effective risk management strategies protect the client's investment by preventing cost overruns and ensuring that the project meets all necessary specifications and compliance requirements. Moreover, maintaining a project free from major setbacks not only secures a financial investment but also enhances the client's reputation, which is crucial for future ventures. This comprehensive approach to anticipating and addressing issues before they arise is fundamental to securing a project's success and a client's satisfaction.
