Our pre-construction service
Get it right on paper before it costs on site
Pre-construction services are the preliminary planning, budgeting and design analysis phases carried out before formal construction begins. They typically include feasibility studies, value engineering, budget estimates, scheduling, constructability reviews and permitting.
They're usually formalised through a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) to reduce project risk. The result is a project that starts on site with a real budget, a real programme and no nasty surprises.
Talk to the team
Reduce the risk before the build begins: accurate budgets, a clear programme and no surprises on site.
What's included
Key components of pre-construction
Each one handled in-house, by the team that will go on to deliver the build.
- 01
Cost estimation and budgeting
Accurate budget estimates, cost plans and Bills of Quantities, so the project is financially viable from the start.
- 02
Value engineering
Analysing design choices to maximise value and minimise cost, without sacrificing quality.
- 03
Constructability reviews
Evaluating plans to make sure they can be built efficiently, which minimises errors and disputes.

Scheduling and planning
A master programme, early identification of long-lead items and a plan for site logistics.

Risk assessment
Potential risks, from site conditions to legal issues, identified and mitigated early.

Permitting and approvals
Handling the approvals needed and working with local authorities on compliance.
