Expertise — Pre-Construction

The cheapest place to fix a problem is on paper.

The pre-construction stages of a project have a significant influence on the finished project. We focus on working with you in the earliest phases — being involved from as early as concept design lets us coordinate properly and provide real pricing throughout the design process.

We work to gather early estimating and early procurement of subcontractors and equipment. All of it leads to a smoother construction project and expectations that get met.

What We Do

Pre-Construction Services

Estimating

Ongoing budget management

Engineering

Value engineering

CAD and drawing coordination

BIM coordination

Constructability review

Life-cycle cost analysis

Planning and schedule support

Site utilities planning

We model the mechanical systems in 3D and coordinate them against the other trades, so conflicts turn up on a screen instead of in a ceiling. Catching them early means fewer change orders and less installation time.

That model doesn't stay in the office. Our field staff carry iPads and work from it on site, which gives them a far better understanding of how piping and ductwork route than a 2D drawing ever could. Our CAD department works in AutoCAD and Revit.

How We Deliver

Three Ways to Contract the Work

Design-Build

Our team works with the owner and other trades to expedite drawings, review constructability and accessibility, and give real-time cost feedback during design. Single-source responsibility lets us run design, procurement and construction at the same time — less cost and less time than traditional bid work.

Design-Assist

We work closely with the mechanical engineering consultant to produce the most construction-ready drawings possible, suggesting equipment and approaches drawn from past projects. When the design group and the construction group are on the same team, these turn out to be our most streamlined jobs.

Plan + Specifications

We bid and build to a completed design, with our engineering staff supporting RFIs, coordination drawings and value engineering. We also serve as prime contractor where the project calls for it, coordinating other trades and providing construction management.
