Pre-Construction Services
Being involved early in the preconstruction phase allows the key members of the project team to collaborate and apply each member’s experience, skills and expertise to effectively achieve the project's objective and goals.
The project cannot be built by a single team member it requires all three project members (Client, Architect, and Contractor) to create and build the project. Our experience has shown that the earlier the team members are engaged the higher the benefits and the risk of project schedule and cost impacts are reduced.
Critical elements fundamental to our preconstruction process are:
- Early Project Team Collaboration
- Understanding project objectives and goals
- Assessing the risks
- Implement measures to mitigate these risks
Gaining a good understanding of the specific and unique desires, needs, goals, and risk of the project at this early stage allows for proper evaluation and planning. This clears the path for Olvera Company to support the team with a clear and concise understanding of cost, constructability and risk mitigation during the early stages of design. This information will aid the design team in offering the best design options for the project. This collaborative effort allows the contractor and architect to support the client with clear and concise information which allows them to be well informed when making the necessary decisions to progress through the life of the preconstruction process. When the details of the project are fully vetted during this stage, the project and ultimately the client reaps the benefits of reduced cost and construction time. Being involved in this process allows us to create a healthy foundation that the next steps of the construction process will be built on.
