Overview
Before the CDAG hard hats go on, we use our heads to help owners plan and shape all aspects of their projects. Our preconstruction services include,
Value Analysis
In a business where every dollar counts, our extensive track record and detailed knowledge can help you determine the best, most efficient way to approach a project.
Conceptual Estimation and Budgeting
Before you prepare a formal bid request, we can help you explore several budgeting options—each with a highly accurate estimate — to help you decide the best use of your investment.
Constructability Reviews
Can your project be built on time and within budget without compromising function or quality? We’ll assess your plans and let you know, with a high degree of certainty.
Preconstruction Scheduling
We identify every possible participant’s role in the construction process, including troubleshooting possible labor and material delivery problems.
Subcontractor Prequalification and Input
Selecting and securing the various construction team members — and getting their input on your plans — makes for a much smoother, well-coordinated project.
Procurement of Long Lead-Time Items
From hard-to-find materials to custom fabrication, we can get the ball rolling early in order to prevent delays and keep budgets and schedules on track.
Site Utilization Analysis
Site utilization helps visualize and plan for a project site’s equipment locations and movement, material handling and staging, utilities and other essential requirements.
Permitting
We understand and can fully handle the complex requirements and processes involved with legally clearing your project for construction.
Building Systems Analysis
In this phase, we assess the project plans in order to help determine the appropriate mechanical systems and estimate building energy use — another way to save money before construction begins.
