Preconstruction & Project Planning
Successful projects begin long before construction starts. Through early involvement and deep collaboration, we help shape projects that are financially sound, operationally smart, and built for long-term success.
Our robust in-house preconstruction team works alongside ownership, design partners, and consultants from the earliest stages of planning. By investing time and expertise upfront, we identify risks early, align scope with budget, and create a clear path forward — long before shovels hit the ground.
Below is an overview of our phased approach.
Conceptual Design Phase
Early alignment sets the tone for everything that follows. During the Conceptual Design Phase, budget, schedule, and scope are evaluated collectively to ensure the project vision is grounded in real-world market conditions. Preliminary pricing and milestone schedules are developed using current trade data and operational insight, creating a financially responsible starting point for design to advance with confidence.
Design Development Phase
As the design evolves, cost and constructibility remain closely aligned. Ongoing budget updates, feasibility reviews, and schedule refinement help maintain momentum while protecting project goals. Building systems, material selections, sustainability considerations, and potential alternates are evaluated thoughtfully — preserving design intent while strengthening value and performance.
Construction Development Phase
With documents nearing completion, the focus turns to precision and clarity. Drawing coordination, scope refinement, and early trade engagement strengthen cost certainty and reduce the potential for gaps or surprises. Detailed schedule development ensures a seamless transition from planning to construction.
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Permit Set Phase
Before construction begins, financial and schedule commitments are solidified. Budgets are finalized using competitive trade input and updated permit information, resulting in a transparent, well-supported GMP. By this stage, risks have been carefully evaluated, decisions have been thoughtfully vetted, and the project is positioned for successful execution.
