Pre-Construction

What can I do to minimize the risk of such a significant undertaking?

Imagine you start your construction project. A team member discovers that a modification to the design would make it more efficient for your employees. However, these changes require municipal review affecting the permit, causing delays in the project .

After losing a month to planning board and code reviews and approvals, you find the budget and schedule are not what you expected.  Sitting at your desk, all you can think is: “If we only anticipated those changes in the first place, we would still be on-schedule and on-budget and none of this would have happened.”

Hindsight may be 20/20, but proper pre-construction planning can provide the foresight to prevent trouble before it starts. Working closely with you and your team, we utilize our decades of experience and expertise to provide insight and help you plan for success.
