Pre-construction is the planning phase that lays the groundwork for a successful project. This stage involves detailed estimating, budgeting, scheduling, constructability reviews, value engineering, permitting strategy, and coordination with architects, engineers, and owners. The goal is to define the project scope, identify potential risks, and make informed decisions that reduce costs, avoid delays, and ensure a smooth transition into construction.

The construction phase is where the physical building takes shape. It includes site mobilization, excavation, foundation work, structural framing, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) installation, and all finishes through final inspections. Project managers, superintendents, and field teams work together to ensure quality, maintain schedules, and uphold safety standards while delivering the project according to plans, specifications, and client expectations.

Design-build is a streamlined project delivery method where a single entity manages both the design and construction under one contract. This integrated approach fosters collaboration, improves communication, and accelerates timelines by overlapping design and construction activities. It also enables greater cost control and accountability, as the design-build team works together from concept to completion to meet the client’s vision, budget, and schedule.

Development planning involves the strategic evaluation and preparation of a site or property for future construction. This process includes feasibility studies, zoning and entitlement analysis, land use planning, environmental assessments, financial modeling, and coordination with public agencies. The objective is to identify the best use of the property, mitigate risks, and position the project for successful approval, financing, and execution.
