PRECONSTRUCTION

TIME SAVING PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Before any development can get up and running, preconstruction services are required to make sure the roadmap ahead is clear and understood. Thorough pre-construction planning is proven to reduce errors, setbacks and miscommunications during the build phase and can be instrumental in saving you time and money.

Lean Green Technetronic Construction Management (LGT) takes the time to provide you with a comprehensive breadth of preconstruction planning services. Our aim is to discern as many hard details as possible, so your project breaks ground with a complete understanding of what the expectations for its development are. From budgeting and scheduling, to vendor identification and permit acquisition, our thoroughness in preconstruction planning is unmatched.

Once a budget is established, we contextualize your development with a timeline. This enables scheduling and proper logistical planning upfront, before work begins. Through comprehensive planning we’re able to see where the potential for bottlenecks and setbacks may occur and can work proactively to plan for them.

Scheduling also opens the door for discussions with contractors, vendors and municipal entities, giving us the opportunity to look ahead to determine cash flow and site personnel. We’ll make sure everyone knows when and where to show up, how much they’re being paid and what the expectation of work is — all well in advance of a build.

Vendor and contractor establishment

Preconstruction planning gives us the opportunity to figure out where your materials and workforce are coming from ahead of time, instead of as needed. Through open communication with these partners we’ll make sure materials are stocked or ordered in advance, costs are predetermined, contractors have a scope of work and more. With everyone on the same page, you’ll have all of the building materials your development needs and the workforce necessary to put them to use.

Want foresight into how your development will play out, before work ever even begins? LGT’s preconstruction services ensure you have comprehensive oversight and factual data early on in the process, saving you time, frustration, unnecessary costs and logistical setbacks. Let us put your project on the path to success right from the start.

BUDGETING AND FISCAL MANAGEMENT

The biggest factor determining the viability and success of a project is its budget. Let our team take care of budgeting for you. We’ll take into account every variable in the process and make sure all costs are accounted for, providing you with a detailed budget that outlines the scope of work from start to finish. At a glance, you’ll be able to determine your costs for:

  • Overall scope of work
  • Materials and labor
  • Permitting and inspections
  • Logistic and operational costs
  • Schematic and design work
  • Scheduling and planning

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is Preconstruction?

    Traditionally, preconstruction involves performing preliminary planning and engineering in order to define the project, identify potential issues, and analyze cost impacts. LGT defines preconstruction as defining the project scope, schedule, and cost as early as possible with the most efficient use of resources and money. Our preconstruction efforts ultimately help the Owner determine if the project is even viable or not. If viable, preconstruction defines the scope of work enough to determine a firm cost and schedule for the project.

  • What does the process entail?

    First, we meet with the client to determine where in the process they are of defining the project. Then we find out what their objectives are for preconstruction and what questions/issues they need to resolve. The LGT team then assesses the level of effort required to get the client to the next step of their process and the level of accuracy required by the client. We’ll define the deliverables needed to get the client to the determined point and the time frame required to do so.

  • What are the primary benefits to the owner?

    There are a number of benefits for the Owner. Many of our clients use our preconstruction process as the basis for their capital project appropriation process. Most importantly, the Owner has a defined basis to make an informed decision. The LGT preconstruction process removes many of the unknowns of a project and reduces risks for the Owner. We can also identify areas for potential cost savings. The clients we work with like to evaluate the different scenarios upfront and have a defined path to construct the project prior to funding approval.

  • What are the costs of a preconstruction effort?

    The cost of preconstruction is typically 1% – 3% of the Total construction costs of the project, depending on the complexity and amount of work needed to meet the objectives of the preconstruction effort.

  • What type of impact will preconstruction typically have on the overall final project in terms of schedule and costs compared to traditional methods?

    We have seen preconstruction efforts have a significant impact on the overall project, and save the Owner significant time and money. Since we determine the cost and schedule of the project upfront; we can reduce the number of changes, unexpected costs, and variations of schedule during the project; we can identify early where possible problems will occur; and we can better identify cost savings opportunities. In addition, we also assume the cost risk once the project is funded
