Construction and contracting solutions
Preconstruction services
Our company emphasizes shared knowledge and collaboration with clients, engineers, and subcontractors to create innovative project solutions. We use advanced technology for 3D modeling, aiding in planning and resource allocation. We work with design and engineering teams during the planning phase, creating detailed project drawings and specifications. Our cost matrices allow for detailed and accurate project budgets, considering value engineering opportunities and economic risk factors. Our strong supply chain intelligence and purchasing power ensure supply chain and schedule certainty in procurement.
At our company, we place a high value on the synergy of shared knowledge. Our dedicated team engages in collaborative efforts with clients, engineers, and subcontractors to generate innovative solutions tailored to the distinctive needs of your project. During this crucial phase, we utilize advanced technology to create 3D models of the proposed facility, providing a tangible representation of the final product. These models serve as a valuable tool for simulating the construction life cycle, allowing us to identify key milestones and plan primary construction resources effectively. In addition, our 3D models enable us to extract preliminary quantities with greater accuracy. This aids in determining material requirements and potential suppliers early in the process, plan lead-times and schedule construction activities. In essence, our approach combines cutting-edge technology with collaborative problem-solving, setting the stage for successful project execution.
Our company takes a collaborative approach during the planning and design phase, working closely with design and engineering teams to ensure the constructability of your project. Our construction managers work closeley with the design engineers providing valuable insights and suggestions that can enhance the design while ensuring it remains feasible for construction. One of our key contributions during this phase is the creation of detailed drawings and specifications. These documents serve as a roadmap for the construction process, outlining every aspect of the project in detail. They provide clear instructions for the construction team and help avoid misunderstandings that could lead to costly mistakes or delays. In addition to drawings and specifications, we also develop a comprehensive project scope. Creating a realistic project schedule is another crucial aspect. We understand that time is of the essence in any construction project. Therefore, we create schedules that are not only realistic but also efficient, ensuring that every stage of the project is completed within the stipulated timeframe.
Our cost matrices are comprehensive databases that contain detailed information about various cost factors. These include labor rates, material costs, equipment costs, and more. This data allows us to create detailed and accurate budgets for each project. Our supply chain intelligence gives us insight into the availability and cost of materials and resources. This enables us to account for potential fluctuations in prices and availability, ensuring that our cost estimates are as accurate as possible. One of the key aspects of our budgeting and cost estimation process is the consideration of value engineering opportunities. This approach allows us to identify areas where costs can be reduced without compromising on quality or functionality. By accurately estimating equipment and material costs, we can ensure that the project stays within budget. Economic risk factors are another important consideration in our budgeting and cost estimation process. These could include factors such as inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and more. By considering these factors, we can create budgets and cost estimates that are robust and resilient to economic fluctuations.
In the construction industry, procurement plays a pivotal role in the successful execution of any project. Our company stands out in this domain due to our robust supply chain intelligence and significant purchasing power. Our competitive edge lies in our association with Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) relationships, decades of contractor procurement and global buying power. This association enables us to deliver supply chain and schedule certainty, which are crucial for the timely and efficient completion of construction projects. Our procurement process is managed by local professionals who are adept at negotiating contracts. These contracts ensure that the necessary materials and equipment are available on-site when needed. This not only streamlines the construction process but also provides you with the assurance that your project will be completed on time. We handle all aspects of procurement, from sourcing materials and equipment to negotiating contracts and ensuring on-time delivery. This allows you to focus on other important aspects of your project, confident in the knowledge that your procurement needs are being handled by experts.
