We embrace a comprehensive methodology that guides our project construction, empowers our teams, and ensures the delivery of top-notch construction services to our valued clients.
Our approach to management serves as the guiding force behind our construction endeavors. At its core, our philosophy centers on three key pillars: innovation, leadership, and collaboration.
Construction Innovation
Our management approach deeply fosters innovation within the construction industry. We actively embrace cutting-edge delivery methods like Integrated Project Delivery and Design Build to ensure that our projects are at the forefront of industry advancements.
Leadership Development
At the heart of our company's values lies a strong commitment to fostering leadership within our team. We encourage our members to aspire to become industry leaders themselves and take immense pride in actively cultivating and mentoring the next generation of leaders in our field.
Team Collaboration
Collaboration is the heartbeat of our work. We take great pride in working harmoniously with stakeholders such as owners, architects, engineers, and fellow team members. This collaboration is essential in providing cost-effective solutions to any challenges that may arise during the design and construction phases, ultimately guaranteeing the successful execution of our projects.
Preconstruction
Welcome to Buildings By Design, where innovation meets construction excellence. Our commitment to delivering top-tier general contractor services starts long before the first brick is laid or the first beam is raised. We pride ourselves on our preconstruction approach, a meticulous process that lays the foundation for the success of every project we undertake.
Our Preconstruction Philosophy
At Buildings By Design, we understand that the key to a successful construction project lies in the planning stages. That's why we put tremendous emphasis on our preconstruction services. Our philosophy is simple: "Forethought leads to better outcomes." By thoroughly evaluating every aspect of a project before construction begins, we ensure that there are no surprises down the road.
The Preconstruction Advantage
Our preconstruction approach offers several distinct advantages:
Cost Control
We work closely with our clients to establish a detailed budget, including accurate cost estimates for materials, labor, and other project-related expenses. By identifying potential cost-saving opportunities and providing transparent pricing, we help clients make informed decisions that keep their projects on budget.
Project Timeline
Time is money in the construction industry, and our preconstruction process helps streamline project timelines. Through careful planning and scheduling, we mitigate potential delays and ensure that projects are completed on time.
Risk Mitigation
Identifying potential risks early in the project allows us to develop strategies to mitigate them effectively. Whether it's managing regulatory compliance, environmental considerations, or unexpected site challenges, we've got it covered.
Quality Assurance
Our preconstruction phase includes thorough quality planning to ensure that the final product meets or exceeds our clients' expectations. We establish quality standards, select the right materials, and choose the best subcontractors for each job.
Communication
Clear and open communication is vital in any construction project. Our preconstruction approach involves regular meetings with clients, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that everyone is aligned with project goals and objectives.
The Preconstruction Process
Our preconstruction process is comprehensive and tailored to each project's unique requirements:
Project Definition
We collaborate closely with our clients to define project goals, objectives, and constraints.
Site Evaluation
A detailed site assessment helps us understand the project's physical and environmental conditions.
Budget Development
We create a detailed budget, considering all project elements and potential contingencies.
Scheduling
We develop a comprehensive project schedule, including milestones and critical paths.
Risk Assessment
Identifying potential risks and developing strategies to manage them is a key part of our preconstruction process.
Value Engineering
We explore opportunities to optimize project costs without sacrificing quality.
Subcontractor Selection
Our experienced team selects subcontractors and suppliers based on their expertise and alignment with project goals.
Regular Client Updates
Throughout the preconstruction phase, we keep our clients informed with regular updates and progress reports.
By the time construction begins, our clients have a clear understanding of the project scope, timeline, and budget, setting the stage for a successful partnership.
At Buildings By Design, our commitment to excellence extends from the preconstruction phase through project completion. We take pride in delivering high-quality results on time and within budget. With our preconstruction approach, you can trust that your project is in capable hands.
