The Benefits of Pre-Construction Consulting

Do It Right the First Time

A commercial construction project is a huge investment. The last thing you want is for your project to go wrong. Without the right plan, your project can:

Go over budget
Choose the wrong location
Fail to meet code
Get the wrong design

If any of these things go wrong, you’ll have to spend huge amounts of money on construction costs like remodeling, renovating, or achieving code compliance. In the worst case scenario, you may have to start completely from scratch. Pre-construction consulting can make sure that you have a smooth, successful project.

What Is Pre-Construction Consulting?

Pre-construction services usually involve a meeting with a construction company that then outlines the scope of your project and makes a plan for how to meet your needs. The pre-construction phase involves budget planning, site location analysis, zoning assistance, and other services as needed.

People often confuse pre-construction consulting services with design-build services. For more information on design build services, click here.

The Benefits of Pre-Construction Consulting

Pre-construction planning is crucial to making sure that your construction projects go as planned. Pre-construction consulting will:

Keep You on Track

Pre-construction planning identifies and stops problems before they become a reality. Parts of the pre-construction process include identifying:

What permits are required
Various site requirements
Soil type and how it impacts the construction
What materials and equipment are the best fit
Potential scheduling obstacles

Handling these issues ahead of time can stop them from interrupting your ongoing construction process later. Delays to an ongoing construction project are extremely expensive. Avoid those issues entirely with pre-construction consulting.

Give You a Big Picture View

Pre-construction consulting makes sure that you understand every aspect of your project before it begins. While minor details matter in construction, you need to see the big picture view too. A good construction contractor will help you understand timelines, budgets, and manage expectations for your project.

Don’t get lost in little details, partner with a pre-construction consulter.

Boost Cost Savings

Pre-construction services usually cost between 1-3% of the entire construction process. While this may sound expensive, it’s offset by how much more efficient and cost-effective your project becomes.

Pre-construction services do more than avoid issues, they seek ways to make your construction process smoother. These are commonly referred to as value engineering opportunities. Value engineering is about finding processes that can be streamlined and more efficient, leading to massively reduced costs when put together.
