With so many moving parts and variables, it\u2019s a good bet that something can \u2014 and will \u2014 go wrong. But proper planning in the preconstruction phase can help you avoid common pitfalls when your project gets underway.<\/p>\n<p>At Leon Williams Contractors, we use a design-build model that brings all stakeholders to the table ahead of time, including designers, contractors and clients. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwcontractorstn.com\/blog\/page\/5\/\">Preconstruction planning<\/a> gets everyone on the same page for scheduling and expectations, encouraging everyone to collaborate for a quality project.<\/p>\n<p>Preconstruction planning touches every phase in the building process, working towards a smooth, stress-free project.<\/p>\n<h2>Site Evaluation<\/h2>\n<p>Preconstruction planning can anticipate and address any remediation or out-of-the-ordinary site preparation that needs to take place, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwcontractorstn.com\/blog\/page\/4\/\">eliminating delays<\/a> or unexpected cost overruns. If there are infrastructure or utility challenges for the site, those can be addressed, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Value Engineering<\/h2>\n<p>Bringing everyone to the table in the preconstruction phase of our design-build process facilitates a more holistic approach to building. With the help of all the stakeholders, we often identify cost savings in design, infrastructure, electrical or plumbing plans.<\/p>\n<h2>Budgeting\/Finance<\/h2>\n<p>Preconstruction planning includes creating a budget and finding financing. We help you with this process by developing a clear, concise scope of work document so you can apply for financing. This document provides a specific list of items that are included and excluded so any missing pieces can be identified early in the process.\u00a0 In addition, we know that the longer a project takes, the more expensive it becomes. Our planning phase lets us address ahead of time any potential issues that might arise during the project, preventing costly delays and citations.<\/p>\n<h2>Keeping it Simple<\/h2>\n<p>Our design-build preconstruction process helps take some of the complexity out of your construction project. This will provide one point of contact and responsibility for managing the process and keeping it consistent with the owner\u2019s expectations. With careful planning, we see fewer change orders and complications, leading to a lower-stress experience for our clients.<\/p>\n<h2>Calm Under Pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, no matter how carefully we plan, there will always be moments of stress and important decisions to make. Our experienced team knows how to defuse these moments by keeping communication friendly and reliable, keeping stakeholders informed about every aspect of the job, and making sure work is done right the first time.<\/p>\n<p>With teamwork and collaboration, clients, employees and subcontractors can reduce costs and delivery time to maximize your investment and lower your construction stress level.
