Pre-Construction
Pre-construction is the initial phase of a construction project, involving planning, feasibility studies, budgeting, and design assessment to prepare for construction.
Pre-construction planning encompasses site analysis, budget development, project scheduling, risk assessment, and procurement strategy.
A pre-construction budget is developed by estimating costs for labor, materials, equipment, permits, insurance, taxes, and contingencies based on project specifications.
Value engineering is a systematic approach used in pre-construction to optimize project costs while preserving quality and performance. It explores alternative materials and methods.
During pre-construction, decisions regarding construction methods and materials are made based on project requirements, cost-effectiveness, durability, and sustainability.
Yes, we can, but it is a lengthy and expensive process to get an accurate match. We have to send out a sample of your existing finish for color matching. This can take 6 to 8 weeks in addition to cabinet production time.
In the pre-construction phase, the necessary permits and approvals are identified and obtained, which may include building permits, zoning permits, environmental clearances, and safety approvals.
Site assessment involves evaluating the condition of the construction site, identifying potential challenges, and assessing soil quality, utilities, and environmental impact.
Pre-construction risk management involves identifying potential issues and developing contingency plans, such as setting aside funds for unforeseen problems.
