Save money and time from the beginning.
Set your project up for success!
The pre-construction phase is the most important phase. This phase sets the budget, the location is selected, the design team is selected, the contractor is chosen, and the contract is negotiated that will be used. This is the most vital phase of any project because this is where the most cost savings can happen. If the budget is not calculated correctly, if the location isn’t a fit for the overall project, if the contractor isn’t qualified, or the contract has clauses that adversely affect the end result, the client could be looking at excessive budget increases and long project delays.

This coordination and tracking in this phase is vital to ensure protection from liability claims and keeping the project moving to meet deadlines.
