During pre-construction, a Construction Manager works closely with the owner and architect to plan and prepare the project for a smooth, efficient build. This phase focuses on budgeting, scheduling, design coordination, and risk reduction so that once construction begins, the project can proceed on time, within budget, and with fewer surprises. The Construction Manager provides expert guidance, identifies potential challenges early, and helps the owner make informed decisions before breaking ground.

Key Pre-Construction Services Include:

• Developing project budgets and cost estimates.

• Creating project schedules and phasing plans.

• Reviewing designs for constructability and efficiency.

• Conducting value engineering to identify cost-saving alternatives.

• Assisting with permitting and regulatory approvals.

• Identifying potential risks and mitigation strategies.

• Coordinating with the owner, architects, and engineers for informed decision-making.

• Submittals
