Programming & Pre-Construction Services
This is the first phase of any project and is where most of the money and timing decisions are made. It should not be minimized or taken lightly. Companies that skip or shortcut this process pay for it many times over as the project progresses. It is important to generate a clear project direction, budget and schedule before proceeding to avoid making costly mistakes and causing delays. We work closely with architects, contractors and real estate brokers to complete this phase. The following is a list of some of the services we offer to manage this process:
- Master Planning and Programming
