Pre-construction services are a series of planning and preparatory activities undertaken before the actual construction begins. These services are crucial because they help identify potential challenges, establish clear project goals, and create a roadmap for successful project execution. Key pre-construction services include:
Initial Building Schematic Design: Developing the initial design concept to outline the project scope and vision.
Permitting: Securing all necessary permits and approvals to ensure the project complies with local regulations.
Conceptual Estimating: Providing early cost estimates to help establish a realistic budget.
Value Engineering: Identifying cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality or functionality.
Soil Testing: Assessing soil conditions to inform foundation design and ensure structural integrity.
Creation of the Schedule: Developing a detailed project timeline to manage milestones and deadlines effectively.
