Preconstruction

Builder-led planning and design coordination that resolves conflicts on paper, not in the field.

What this stage means

Clear decisions before the next stage begins.

Preconstruction coordinates design intent with constructability, budget, schedule, procurement, permitting, and field conditions. The work becomes more specific as drawings and decisions develop, giving the owner better visibility before construction begins.
