Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-construction services include all planning, budgeting, and feasibility work completed before construction begins. This stage lays the foundation for a successful project by addressing potential challenges early.
A pre-construction assessment typically includes site analysis, budgeting, scheduling, constructability reviews, permitting strategy, and risk assessment — all designed to set the project up for success.
By identifying challenges early, refining design decisions, and providing accurate cost estimates, pre-construction planning prevents costly change orders and delays during construction.
Ideally, the pre-construction team should be involved at the earliest stages — before design is finalized or contractors are selected — to ensure budgeting, scheduling, and feasibility considerations shape project decisions.
