Why Should You Use Pre-Construction Services?
In any construction project there is an ongoing need to find a way to keep time, budget and quality in balance. One of the tools available to you as you contemplate any major new construction or major renovation project is the direct involvement of a construction expert, to give you insight, advice, information, options and numbers at each step. Your benefit is that you can make trade-offs and changes at a time where it is least costly to you in time or money.
Problems You Can Avoid With Pre-Construction Services
A typical project is made up of a series of phases and hand offs -- from
architect to estimator, to bidding, to negotiating and contracting, and finally to
implementation. The biggest issues are the surprises to the owner as these hand-offs
occur. And the unpleasant surprises may continue as change orders crop up with unfolding
field conditions. All of these impact your budgets and timelines, and sometimes
compromise the original details of the project. Then you're forced to make more tradeoffs
to make up dollars and time!
You can avoid this if during the early stages of design
you involve a highly qualified general contractor
with the right attitude and skills.
Benefits of Pre-Construction Services
Here's what clients we've worked with have told us they value most:
- No surprises during bidding or construction
- A clearer view of the budget and timeline for the final project before final commitments
- A better, more buildable design
- A clearer and more detailed basis on which to select the final contractor
Why You Should Use T. M. Brennan Contractors
for Pre-Construction Planning
Who you choose does make a difference in the results you'll get. We
realize it's traditional to work directly with an estimator or through your architect.
But, we'd like you to consider working with us. As an experienced contractor we can give
you the benefit of our hands-on, field expertise. We approach each opportunity to work
with an owner as an opportunity to influence the project in practical ways.
Rather than just tell you the benefits you'll enjoy by working with us, we'll let Jeff
Patterson, Director of Development at Mountain Creek, tell you in his own words what it's
been like working with T. M. Brennan Contractors during the pre-construction phase.
- Jeff says he values our "practicality" and ability to look at the entire
project from a "cockpit view" that helps prevent on-the-job surprises and last minute
changes that cost time and money, and could also compromise quality.
- He also shares why the decision to have T. M. Brennan Contractors on the
pre-construction team was a sound choice in part because the right attitude permeates our
entire team.
- And finally, Jeff highlights some of the performance criteria he values
about us and that he feels distinguish us in the marketplace.
We can deliver these same values for your next project. We invite you to bring your next construction or renovation project to T. M. Brennan. We will give you the benefit of our construction and mechanical contracting expertise, and give you a holistic or integrated view. It's our history and practice to work collaboratively with architects, and to give straight advice to our clients. Our goal is to help you design and ultimately implement a high quality project that realizes your vision, meets your needs, and also comes in on-time and on-budget. You will not be locked into using us for the implementation, but after working with us you may not be surprised that you will want us to see your project through to the end. Let's talk details!
