Building Excellence

Our Pre-Construction Process

FEATURED

Pre-construction

Pre-construction services involve the successful collaboration between the general contractor, architect, engineers and owner to complete the critical initial phase of the construction process. Our expertise includes design coordination, budget pricing, firm cost estimating and scheduling.

Our estimating teams unite senior management, project management, estimators, and technologies such as Timberline and On-Screen Takeoff. Once the team compiles conceptual estimates and drawings are approved, the estimator begins takeoff work while the project manager contacts subcontract trades to keep things moving forward.

DESIGN-BUILD

Our design-build team underscores the value of working with a veteran General Contractor bringing extensive experience in developing design parameters.
