Why Pre-Construction Matters

The most expensive problems in construction are discovered in the field. Pre-construction is the discipline of solving problems on paper before they become problems in the field.

What Pre-Construction Includes

After-the-Fact Permitting

  • Case-by-case evaluation
  • Engineering approval coordination
  • Existing construction compliance
  • Permit resolution support
  • Owner builder assistance

Owner Builder Support

  • Handyman services coordination
  • Engineering approval for existing work
  • Permit documentation
  • Code compliance guidance
  • Inspection coordination

Document Review & Constructability Analysis

  • Document review report
  • Constructability observations
  • Coordination gap identification
  • Missing detail list

Permit Documentation Review

Pre-Construction Investment Return

A typical pre-construction engagement costs 0.5-2% of project value. Projects with thorough pre-construction planning routinely see:

30-50% reduction in RFIs during construction
25-40% reduction in change orders
Faster permit approval timelines
Cleaner project close-out
