It is crucial to manage change in construction to ensure it does not negatively impact a project’s budget or schedule. Pre-construction services play a vital role in this by identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, optimize costs, and streamline construction before any physical work begins.

Pre-construction is more than just planning. By performing value engineering, we find better ways to build and select the most efficient systems to avoid unnecessary costs or delays once construction begins. During the review of early architectural conceptual plans, our experienced pre-construction teams assess potential design alternatives and make recommendations that align with project goals.

An example of this is a multi-story manufacturing facility that was initially designed as an all-precast structure. Through pre-construction analysis, it became evident that switching to a structural steel system would not only be more cost effective but would also speed up the installation process. By making this adjustment early, our client saved tens of millions of dollars and significantly reduced the project timeline. This proactive approach added immense value at little to no additional cost during pre-construction.

For build-to-suit clients, pre-construction services are particularly beneficial because they allow for a customized approach that aligns with the specific operational needs of the business. Whether it’s new construction, a build-out within an existing building, or an expansion of an existing space, understanding these needs from the outset ensures the building is tailored to support business objectives, thereby reducing costly revisions later in the construction process.

Ultimately, pre-construction mitigates change by ensuring value-driven alternatives are identified and informed decisions are made early in the development process. The result is schedule and cost savings, enhanced project efficiency, and buildings optimized to meet businesses’ long-term needs.
