Importance Of Pre Construction Phase During A Construction Project

The pre construction phase is an important part of any commercial construction project. It is mainly because all the crucial decisions can be made or changed during this phase only. Planning something new or making revisions is quite easy at this phase as compared to later stage in the project.

The decisions that are made during the pre-construction phase of any commercial project will determine a number of important aspects of the overall project plan. It is at this phase only that the rest of the project’s objectives, costs, time frames etc can be easily determined.

Furthermore, this phase includes a number of pre construction services, which consists of many things, such as -

  • Developing a detailed conceptual budget estimate   
  • Providing Value Engineering (VE) options
  • Developing a preliminary milestone schedule   
  • Working along-side the design professionals and client to provide ongoing budget support as the design progresses   
  • Providing constructability & logistical assessments
  • Reviewing LEED Design options and their impact to cost & schedule   
  • Establishing subcontractor bid list specific to each project   
  • Preparing bid packages   
  • Bidding project   
  • Facilitating & Managing the Permit Process

Furthermore, these services provide a number of benefits, which include value optimization, efficient scheduling, and cost effective purchasing.

The pre construction phase helps in improving the performance of the work and saves a lot of time. However, apart from the aforementioned things, the services during this phase also help in determining and preparing documents related to the design of the plan or blueprint of the project.

Therefore, they are very important for the overall success and are of great benefit for the project.
However, the most important thing for the success of any project is to look for an experienced firm that can provide you top quality services.
