Preconstruction Services
Overall project success relies heavily upon the decisions made in the early stages of a job; that’s why our preconstruction services offer advantages on projects of various sizes and complexities. By using the most relevant tools, technologies, and process, we involve the right people to validate client needs, identify constraints, and present options while being mindful of budget limitations.
Our Approach
Precision Preconstruction Planning for Project Success
Preconstruction is the critical planning phase of a construction project in which budget, scope, schedule, and feasibility are defined before shovels ever hit the ground. Our expert, proven approach to preconstruction services has been the critical factor for the success of our clients’ projects. We provide detailed design, budget, schedule, and planning information for the project, in essence, building the project on paper. This information is used to make real-time data-driven business decisions regarding scope, quality, schedule, and costs when the ability to influence is high. By understanding that quality starts at design conception, early integration of our services, including a design-build delivery method, streamlines the construction process. Evans has construction expertise in a variety of markets, including manufacturing, healthcare, life sciences, and more, delivering tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of each industry.
Preconstruction Benefits
Benefits of Our Preconstruction Design-Build Method
Our design-build team works closely with clients to understand the key factors behind their project goals, ensuring that cost, schedule, and quality remain synchronized. This collaborative, design-build method reduces communication gaps, streamlines decision-making, and enhances efficiency.
Shortened Project Timeline
Our ability to compress a construction schedule is one of the reasons clients rely on Evans’ design-build services. Using the design-build approach for project delivery significantly expedites the build process, allowing for construction to often begin before the entire design is finalized. This overlap translates to quicker project completion and earlier occupancy due to lockstep coordination of our design-build team’s management of the schedule.
Single Source Management
Singular responsibility and accountability rests on Evans to drive the flow of work through to completion. As the main point of contact for clients, our team uses open and transparent communication to coordinate contracts, manage vendors, and streamline project management tasks which ultimately reduce client burdens.
Cost Effective Solutions
Design-build is about value engineering. Based on client requirements, Evans identifies and eliminates unwanted costs to increase a project’s value. Designing for critical features, systems, equipment, and materials in the preconstruction phase, they establish a project budget right from the onset. This results in early construction starts and reduces risk of cost overruns and last-minute surprises; all while ensuring the facility provides savings throughout its life cycle.
Efficient Project Completion
Continuity in workflow drives performance which results in an overall higher quality outcome. Because there is no separate contract between Evans and the design team, communication gaps and potential for conflict is greatly minimized by fostering enhanced collaboration and shared insights day one.
