Pre-construction
Problems are cheapest on paper.
Pre-construction is where a project is actually won: real budgets, real schedules, soils and structure reconciled with the design, and a permit package assembled to clear review — before a single crew is mobilized.
What it covers
The work before the work.
-
Site and soils, first
On any slope the geotechnical report defines the buildable envelope. We commission it before drawings are finalized — designs produced first tend to get redrawn at your expense.
-
Budget with named assumptions
A line-item estimate whose allowances and exclusions are written down, so the number you approve is the number we manage to.
-
Constructability review
The builder's read of the drawings before they're priced: details that won't survive the field get resolved with the architect now, not discovered at framing.
-
Permit strategy
Complete submittals clear plan check; incomplete ones queue. We assemble for completeness — including hillside, coastal and fire-zone requirements.
-
Schedule you can plan a life around
An official timeline with the long-lead items already ordered against it. Updates arrive on a cadence, not on request.
