We Provide a complete pre-construction plan

EGConstruct Pre-Construction Services are a well defined systematic approach to assuring a successful project. We understand that 70% of all construction cost savings occur during the pre-construction process and we focus our attention on the details. Through extensive quantity takeoffs, accurate cost estimating, constructability reviews, life cycle analysis, critical path scheduling, value engineering and competitive bidding our systems provide you with the highest return on your investment. Our experienced staff brings knowledgeable recourses to validate every building material, building system and labor component costs. We know the numbers, we provide solid construction estimates and our pre-construction program helps to facilitate good decision making for our owners.

Our Strategy

The strategy behind pre-construction is to work out all the kinks and troubleshoot any problems before you have boots on the ground. Without this stage of the process you can end up with manpower and materials sitting around waiting for issues to be resolved.

  • Cost Estimating

The pre construction process should always start with a meeting between the client and general contractor. During this meeting, the two will get a better sense of each other, and the general contractor will gain an understanding of the client’s wants and needs. Goals and objectives will be defined, and any questions or issues the client has will be laid out for the general contractor to resolve.

Once the meeting has occurred, the general contractor gets to work on the design phase of the project’s pre construction. They will go into the field and visit the construction site to produce a digital schematic of the design and layout. This will then be presented to the client so they can visualize how the project is going to look after construction.Helping clients visualize their project is extremely important.

The contractor will then be able to put together a preliminary construction budget based on of their design and engineering assessment. But how does the contractor come up with a number?Beyond materials needed and whether or not the components listed in the step above are needed, they will also factor in the budgets used for comparable projects. While this estimate will be another vital part of the process, it’s important to note that the cost estimation is not necessarily a bid.
