Pre-Construction
& Planning

Site Evaluation:

  • This involves assessing the physical characteristics of the site, including topography, soil conditions, existing utilities, environmental factors, and accessibility.
  • It's crucial for identifying potential challenges and informing design and construction strategies.

Accurate Conceptual Budgets:

  • Developing preliminary cost estimates based on initial project scope and design concepts.
  • This helps stakeholders understand the financial feasibility of the project and make informed decisions.

Site Logistics Planning:

  • Planning the organization and flow of materials, equipment, and personnel on the construction site.
  • This includes determining laydown areas, access routes, temporary utilities, and safety measures.
  • Efficient logistics are essential for minimizing delays and maximizing productivity.

Mechanical & Electrical Design Assist:

  • Collaborating with the design team to optimize mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.
  • This involves providing constructability input, value engineering suggestions, and coordination with subcontractors.
  • This helps ensure that the MEP systems are efficient, cost-effective, and meet the project's requirements.

Preliminary & Final Scheduling:

  • Collaborating with the design team to optimize mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.
  • This involves providing constructability input, value engineering suggestions, and coordination with subcontractors.
  • This helps ensure that the MEP systems are efficient, cost-effective, and meet the project's requirements.

Value Engineering/Value Analysis:

  • Identifying opportunities to reduce costs or improve project value without compromising quality or functionality.
  • This involves analyzing alternative materials, methods, and designs.

Subcontractor Evaluation & Selection:

  • Evaluating the qualifications and capabilities of potential subcontractors.
  • Selecting the most qualified and competitive subcontractors to perform specific scopes of work.
  • This process is critical for ensuring quality workmanship and project success.

Permitting:

  • Obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from regulatory agencies.
  • This includes building permits, environmental permits, and other required approvals.
  • Navigating the permitting process can be complex and time-consuming.

Final Estimates & Quotes:

  • Providing a comprehensive and detailed cost estimate for the entire project.
  • This includes all labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
  • The final estimate serves as the basis for the construction contract.

These services are essential for:

  • Minimizing risks and uncertainties.
  • Controlling costs.
  • Maintaining schedules.
  • Ensuring quality.
  • Facilitating effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders.

By focusing on these pre-construction and planning activities, project teams can increase the likelihood of a successful and efficient construction project.

Core Construction
Operations

Construction Sequence Scheduling:

  • This is the backbone of efficient project execution. It involves creating a detailed timeline of activities, dependencies, and milestones.
  • Key aspects: Utilizing software (e.g., MS Project), critical path analysis, and flexibility to adapt to changes.

Subcontractor & Labor Coordination:

  • Managing and coordinating the work of various subcontractors and labor forces.
  • Key aspects: Clear communication, contract management, scheduling, and ensuring quality workmanship.

Project Management & Supervision:

  • Overseeing all aspects of the project, from planning to completion.
  • Key aspects: Leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, and ensuring adherence to plans and specifications.

Safety Management:

  • Prioritizing safety on the job site to prevent accidents and injuries.
  • Key aspects: Developing and implementing safety protocols, conducting safety meetings, and ensuring compliance with regulations (e.g., OSHA).

Inspection Coordination:

  • Scheduling and coordinating inspections with relevant authorities and ensuring projects meet building codes and regulations.
  • Key aspects: understanding local regulations, and building relationships with inspectors.

Weekly Site Meetings:

  • Essential for communication and progress tracking.
  • Key aspects: Reviewing progress, addressing issues, and coordinating upcoming activities.

Value Added Services

Value Engineering:

  • Analyzing project designs and materials to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality or functionality.
  • Key aspects: identifying alternative materials, and more efficient building methods.

Project Accounting:

  • Managing project finances, including budgeting, cost tracking, and invoicing.
  • Key aspects: accurate record-keeping, and financial reporting.

Close-Out Manual and Punchlist:

  • Providing a comprehensive document containing project information and addressing any remaining deficiencies.
  • Key aspects: compiling warranties, operating manuals, and as-built drawings, and completing all outstanding work.

Potential Enhancements
& Considerations

Pre-Construction Services:

  • Consider adding services like feasibility studies, design development, and permitting assistance.

Technology Integration:

  • Mentioning the use of technology, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) or project management software, can be a strong selling point.

Sustainability:

  • If applicable, highlight any commitment to sustainable construction practices.

Communication:

  • Emphasize clear and consistent communication with clients.

Customer service:

  • A great construction company puts customer service as a high priority.

By clearly defining these services and highlighting their value, a construction company can effectively communicate its capabilities to potential clients.
