Preconstruction Services

Before construction begins, we dissect the evolving design to help you understand the impact of every decision. Things like life-cycle costs, value engineering ideas and schedule enhancements are incorporated early. While your dream begins to take shape, we magnify the project scope through an owner-focused lens.

Our facilities assessment services give you a “nuts and bolts” perspective on the current condition of each of your facilities. The process begins with an expert analysis of existing conditions and collaboration among our estimators and constructability specialists. When complete, our assessments can be used as a tool to guide your team in the earliest stages of long-term master planning.

Using the Building Information Modeling (BIM) system, we compile construction drawings of each building component into a highly-detailed, three-dimensional building map. This system provides an efficient means of:

Trade coordination prior to construction
Preemptive discovery of conflicts between building components
Virtual representation for budgeting and estimating
Minimizing field fabrication
Post-construction facility maintenance

Our goal in campaign development is simple: to help you pass your bond. We can start working with you no matter where you are in the process, helping you communicate your facility needs with the community. With an organizational structure and process that is easy to execute, we provide a customized campaign tool kit that reflects the key messages of your program.
