Pre-Construction
Pre-Construction is critical for preventing hasty starts to construction that could lead to longer time without the use of your kitchen or bathroom. We know many homeowners and contractors who’ve skipped this step only to find they’re “ready” but left waiting weeks for a major item to arrive. Skipping Pre-Construction can also lead to the cost of a project increasing in small increments because the contractor and their team missed important details, leaving them out of their agreement or construction management costs due to a longer time in the field.
To avoid this, we review these drawings and specification sheets at the project site with the Contractor and Trade Contractors, modifying them based on their feedback. We want to work as a team with the plumber, electrical and tile installer, etc. We also review the materials quotes, specifications, and quantities based on the general contractor’s input, adjust accordingly, and prepare for a final review before orders are placed and the permit drawings are signed off in the Materials Coordination Phase.
Client Time Commitment: 2-4 Hours
Approximate Timeline: 3-4 Business Weeks
Together with you and your general contractor, we review their agreement for your remodeling project. We ask questions, make final decisions, and agree to an approximate start date based on the estimated materials’ lead times.
