Everything starts with pre-construction services. As soon as the journey for a new building project begins, there is a number of tasks and questions that the team should look into. Simply put, this is the time where an idea is gradually turning into an actual project and that practical aspects of the vision in discussion are analysed. It is also a first effort for the team members to acquire a better understanding of the potential project costs and expectations. The earlier in the project the tougher it is to predict the total cost of a new building structure or a renovation project.
Once the project starts progressing, there are many different elements that should be taken into consideration. From project initiation to closure, there should be solid collaboration between the various agents and good team coordination. It goes without saying that, data plays a substantial role in this process and allow quick and well-analysed decisions. We could roughly divide the construction management phase into three parts:
The design-build method has attracted a lot of attention lately. Having the same team providing both the design and construction services can boost your project’s efficiency and minimize risk. Moreover, keeping the design and construction phases connected can help you obtaining a better understanding of the potential challenges that might come along your way during the building process.
Like that, you can be confident that you will make the right choices when it comes to material and equipment selection. Furthermore, the design-build phase is expected to unlock many opportunities for the construction industry when it comes to sustainable building and innovation.
In the first three construction service categories we mainly focused on services that are inextricably connected with design and the project management process. Now, we will turn our attention to more practical tasks and construction services which concern the life-cycle of a building.
