Pre-Construction

In a perfect world, SPB is engaged early in the design process.  In that case, we offer Pre-Construction services that include: detailed estimating, material selection assistance, scheduling, constructability analysis, and value engineering. These services align well with the “Design-Build” delivery system.  While we don’t offer design services in-house, we do have a lot of experience partnering with local design professionals that handle that portion.  Design Build is a type of project delivery that puts the designers and contractors on the same team. This is advantageous because it keeps the designers from designing a project that is not buildable or too expensive. And, it engages the contractor early so they understand the essence of the design while establishing the budget. In this scenario, both the designer and the contractor are acting as checks and balances for each other while the final design and budget are developed.
