Development & preconstruction

The best time to solve a construction problem is before construction starts.

Builders Construction helps owners move from existing conditions to a buildable plan through evaluation, feasibility, scope development, coordination, and transparent construction support.

Plan first. Build second.

A three-phase model

Plan first. Build second.

The right service depends on where the project is today and how much clarity the owner needs before the next commitment.

A useful level of detail at every phase.

01

Development / Planning

Existing Conditions & Feasibility ~ $1,500

Start with the property review, existing-condition assessment, site constraints, construction feasibility, preliminary scope, potential code or structural concerns, infrastructure review, development considerations, and preliminary budget direction.

  • ↗Property review and existing-condition assessment
  • ↗Site constraints and construction feasibility
  • ↗Preliminary scope and infrastructure review
  • ↗Potential code / structural concerns
  • ↗Development considerations and preliminary budget direction
01

Development / Planning

Complete Planning ~ $7,500

Build a more detailed roadmap through scope development, engineer and architect coordination, site planning, constructability review, preliminary budgeting, scheduling, procurement planning, contractor coordination, and permit planning.

  • ↗Detailed planning and scope development
  • ↗Engineer / architect coordination
  • ↗Site planning and constructability review
  • ↗Preliminary budgeting and scheduling
  • ↗Procurement, contractor, and permit planning
02

Owner's Representation

10% of hard construction costs, ~ $10,000 minimum

Protect the owner through advocacy, contractor coordination, bid review, construction oversight, schedule review, pay-application review, quality assurance, change-order review, scope verification, documentation, site observations, progress verification, problem resolution, and cost control.

  • ↗Owner advocacy and contractor coordination
  • ↗Bid, scope, schedule, and pay-application review
  • ↗Quality assurance and progress verification
  • ↗Change-order review and cost control
  • ↗Documentation, site observations, and problem resolution
03

General Contracting

Typically cost-plus — Cost + 20%

When the project is ready to build, general contracting brings the plan into the field with transparency around the construction process.

  • ↗Construction execution after planning
  • ↗Transparent cost-plus structure
  • ↗Coordination of the work in the field

Next step

Start with the condition. Build from there.

Discuss the property, the development question, and the kind of clarity you need before construction starts.
