Phase 1: Discovery & Pre-Construction Planning
What happens:
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your architectural goals, functional requirements, and project timeline. Following an on-site discovery meeting, we assess structural considerations, code requirements, and site logistics that will impact scope and investment.
Once engaged for Pre-Construction Services, we become your construction partner throughout design development: collaborating with your architect/designer to refine details, develop comprehensive cost estimates, manage permitting and regulatory approvals, and create a detailed construction schedule. This phase ensures your project is fully vetted before construction begins, minimizing the costly surprises that plague projects rushed into production.
Deliverables:
- Detailed and transparent cost-plus budget
- Full project schedule with milestone dates
Timeline: 6–12 weeks, depending on project complexity.
Why this matters: Proper planning protects your investment by identifying issues before they become expensive problems.
