Successful construction projects require thorough planning. Rushing into a project without detailed planning often leads to problems and delays. While pre-construction can be a significant expense, the benefit of collaboratively planning and sequencing a project on paper is priceless for the overall build. The cost of pre-construction is based on the time invested.
The pre-construction phase involves developing the project from both a design and construction perspective. The construction team acts as consultants, working alongside architects and clients to establish budgets, pricing, and schedules.
Gathering comprehensive information upfront leads to more accurate cost estimates and timelines. Lack of information results in assumptions and allowances, which can significantly impact the budget and create frustrations during construction.
Working together closely through pre-construction allows for a better understanding of the project and facilitates accurate communication with clients. It enables the construction team to provide a clear picture of what it will take to build the project.
Pre-construction offers the opportunity to be proactive in evaluating materials, systems, and alternative options. In contrast, making decisions during the construction phase becomes reactive and limits the time available for study and optimization.
The pre-construction process builds confidence in the established budget, with transparency between all team members. With careful planning and value engineering, the project can be executed within the set budget, reducing the need for a large contingency.
Investing in pre-construction is worthwhile to avoid budget overruns, schedule delays, and inefficiencies. It provides a structured approach and mitigates risks associated with inadequate planning.
In summary, the pre-construction phase is crucial for establishing alignment, conducting thorough planning, and ensuring efficient project execution within the defined budget and timeline. By investing in pre-construction, clients can expect greater confidence in cost control and a more successful construction process overall.
