Preconstruction and building planning
Our preconstruction services give owners the information they need to make informed decisions before construction begins. We evaluate constructability, schedules, value opportunities and long-term operating costs while treating each project and budget as if they were our own.
- Constructability reviews
- Schedule development
- Value engineering
- Total cost of ownership analysis
- Cost segregation studies
- Rebate and incentive identification
Our total cost of ownership analysis considers energy consumption, facility maintenance, and future system repair and replacement. During budgeting, we also identify construction choices that may affect depreciation strategies and look for available government- or utility-sponsored efficiency rebates and incentives.
