Planning & Evaluation
The focus during this phase is on accumulating information, identifying risks, securing approvals, developing the design and refining the budget and schedule in accordance with both the owner's requirements and the location of the project. The preconstruction phase is a very dynamic process. Therefore, the organization of the team and communication is structured to accommodate this atmosphere.

The preconstruction period of the project is the optimum time to establish the project team. At this time the architect, engineers and contractors are assigned to the team for a coordinated and focused approach to the project. During the preconstruction phase we focus on providing leadership in:

·	Design Development
·	Cost Estimating
·	Alternative Cost Analysis
·	Scheduling
·	Market Review & Analysis
·	Construction Logistics
·	Cash Flow
·	Design & Code Review

The preconstruction phase also should include developing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the project. This price will include all costs associated with the project as well as a Guaranteed Schedule.

As a partner in planning and implementing the construction, we will manage the entire process. We can work with your existing team or hire and manage the architects, engineers, survey crew, code consultants and other consultants necessary to examine and delineate the project. Our expertise lies in working with clients, architects, engineers, contractors and other team members to ensure that all aspects of the project are cohesive and comprehensive.
