Pre-Construction Services: Building Confidence Before Breaking Ground
ADDRESSING THE BIG QUESTIONS
Taking on a building or renovation project often brings up a few big questions:
Will the project really stay on budget?
Could delays drag things out longer than planned?
Can I trust my team to be honest and see the job through?
Am I going to be hit with hidden costs later?
These are valid concerns — and without careful planning, small oversights can turn into big headaches.
The Pitfalls of Traditional "Free Estimates"
The conventional approach of obtaining free estimates often lacks the depth and accuracy required for successful project execution. These estimates are typically based on assumptions and provisional sums, leading to unforeseen costs and delays. Such practices can result in projects costing significantly more than initially anticipated.
Our Solution: The Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA)
We offer a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) - a structured, collaborative approach that brings clarity before we ever break ground.
Here’s what it includes:
Early Contractor Involvement - we join the process from the design phase to advise on buildability, material choices, and cost implications.
Detailed Planning - we build realistic schedules, define scope precisely, and map out budgets before construction starts.
Risk Mitigation - we work to uncover potential build challenges in advance (site conditions, structural constraints, planning hops) so surprises don’t derail progress.
How It Works
Small initial investment for thorough planning.
Accurate cost estimation and scheduling.
Enhanced collaboration between all stakeholders.
Greater certainty and reduced risk throughout the project lifecycle.
Benefits of the PCSA Approach
Cost Certainty: Detailed budgeting reduces the likelihood of unexpected expenses.
Time Efficiency: Comprehensive planning minimizes delays.
Quality Assurance: Early involvement of specialists ensures high standards.
Informed Decision-Making: Clients have clarity on design and costs before committing to construction.
