To trust your construction company, you must feel its people will “think of everything” in connection with the project. CSM Group doesn’t leave that to chance. Our pre-construction services are more thorough and formalized, so much so we’ve bundled them into a consistent and detailed process.
Site inspections and design and constructability reviews are always part of that process. But our expertise in construction management allows us to examine the project from more perspectives at this early stage when it can have maximum impact.
Often, this means involving more key people at this stage than is typical at other firms. We’ve learned this allows us to better “see around corners” to unearth and avoid potential problems and discover opportunities to add efficiency and economies through value engineering. It also provides a jumpstart in more accurate budgeting and estimating, even identifying and selecting key trade contractors to be invited to bid.
Our pre-project services also include other important activities, including:
Budget Development
We will help you develop budgets in order to monitor progress toward your goals, help control spending, and predict cash flow and profit.
Constructibility Reviews
We will review construction processes from start to finish to identify obstacles prior to the start of your project to reduce or prevent delays and cost overruns.
Cost Estimating
We can provide an approximation of the probable cost of a project, computed on the basis of available information.
