Often architectural drawings are very preliminary when submitted for budget estimates. Additional details are added to the drawings once the budget is accepted. Sometimes these drawings include materials that are difficult to source or require construction methods that are inefficient to execute.
The Pre-Construction Service reviews the architectural designs and eliminates choke points and inefficiencies to maintain the original budget and timeline while keeping to the project’s intent.
MAINTAINING PROJECT INTENT WHILE KEEPING TEAMS TO ACCOUNT.
Construction projects are complex and require many disparate teams. Sometimes, teams may over-scope, under deliver or delay progress after the budgets and timelines are approved. RWC’s Pre-Construction service reviews all plans for items that are out of scope or inefficient to ensure the project is on time and budget while keeping to the client’s intent.
REDUCING PROJECT BLOWOUT COSTS
By proactively reviewing plans and comparing them with historical construction data sets, RWC’s Pre-Construction Service can identify areas that have caused delays or additional costs in previous projects. Using this data, RWC’s Pre-Construction Service optimizes the plan to remove any materials or activities that can incur extra costs while the job progresses.
There is often a significant time gap between when the architectural drawings are solidified and when construction begins. Material and labour costs and availability can fluctuate dramatically during this time, causing budget overages and timeline disruptions.
The Pre-Construction Service can “value engineer” alternative methods and source alternative materials that keep to the original budget and timeline while maintaining the project’s original intent.
Many modern projects require specialized materials, which often take time to source, fabricate or procure. Delays in having these materials ready will impact the timelines and affect costs.
Leveraging RWC’s extensive construction experience, the Pre-Construction Service can identify and proactively source and order materials that require long lead times to eliminate construction delays.
