PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
The pre-construction process can begin once you have completed the site selection process. Like the details in your site selection and construction planning overall, the pre-construction planning is critical to an efficient and timely construction project. We’re here to help clarify the overall scope and ensure it stays on track as you move into construction and beyond.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONSULTING SERVICES
Before any contractors get to work on starting your build or remodel, our team will work with you on all the aspects of the construction process. It’s a lot more than just design, procurement, and hiring a construction firm.
Before construction begins, our duties include an overview of the market for labor, materials, and interest rates. Be mindful of how these aspects can influence price escalations and material availability before we even start. We manage and advise on:
- Evaluation of design to make sure it addresses all of your concerns and needs
- Coordinating public bond issuance, private financing, and economic incentives
- Securing permits and the entitlement approval processes
- Creating a preliminary project schedule
- Creating budget estimates and pro formas to ensure the project stays within the overall budget.
- Evaluation and award of all architects, engineers, and contractors to fit the project needs
The to-do list at the beginning of a project is daunting. The fact of the matter is unless you are trained in all the steps and processes of the construction process, progress will be slow and unforeseen problems can arise, stopping development in its tracks.
Even if you’re willing to commit to regular communication with the experts working on your construction project, it can be difficult to ensure and manage communication between the dozens of parties involved in a project. A construction Owner’s representative knows the various processes and procedures that make up a construction project, which allows us to act as a mediator, translator, and coach for you, keeping everyone on the same page and your project on track.
ALL PROJECTS NEED PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
When you choose to work with Renatus Ventures, whether you are a municipal or private owner, you can trust that we will always act in your best interest. Not every construction Owner’s representative is experienced in all aspects of this phase in your project. Our insights and recommendations will help to ensure a successful pre-construction phase. During this phase, we can help our clients in several ways:
Financial: We can provide recommendations for best practices and helpful insights on the construction market for both labor and materials. Additionally, we will coordinate and assist with public financing and private financing. We strive to position the project in such a way that it will garner as much competition for the best possible value.
Labor and Talent: When it comes to the selection and management of the design professionals and their work, as well as all the construction solutions providers and their work, that responsibility can fall to us as your pre-construction consultant. We will assist in evaluating and awarding all contractors and vendors to ensure there are no scope issues, including utility providers.
Scheduling and Follow-Up: At the start of this phase, we will take control of the design schedule and include any necessary redesign adjustments to keep your project on schedule. Throughout construction planning, we will regularly evaluate the design to make sure it addresses all your concerns and needs.
