Preconstruction

Meaningful pre-construction services bring value, cost savings, creative problem-solving and informed decision-making while aligning key stakeholders around common goals. We feel so strongly that pre-construction sets the tone for project success that we dedicate extensive resources to evaluate the project from all angles before we mobilize on site – and we do it all in house. From estimating, procurement and scheduling to constructability and MEP coordination, we bring the experience and expertise of our talented team together to develop creative and cost-effective solutions for each owner.

We also keep a close eye on the construction industry and fluctuating economic conditions so are prepared to navigate material pricing increases, labor shortages and supply chain issues before shovel hits the ground. PC’s Industry Analysis Report provides an open and transparent look at these conditions and ensures our project partners have access to information that can impact project decisions.

For more than 40 years, we have refined our preconstruction process. We work diligently with clients and design teams to plan, analyze and guide program, design and construction options. We bring a builder’s perspective and expertise into your own team. And together, we get the best possible return for your investment.
