Preconstruction Services
Grunley Construction is often called upon by its clients to assist in the formative stages of a project to provide professional services that will help define and control the project as it moves from concept to fruition. These preconstruction services are carried out by senior Grunley staff in concert with the design and engineering professionals retained either by the Owner (under a CMc approach) or as part of Grunley's team (under a Design-Build approach).
Preconstruction Services will vary from one project to another but generally they include constructability reviews, phasing plans, scheduling, budgeting, and estimating – all at increasing levels of detail as the design phase progresses. Value engineering services can be performed as part of a continuum of iterative evaluations aimed at optimizing the design-construction solution. Part of this work includes investigations into zoning, building codes, and other regulatory requirements. Also, bid packages are defined and subcontractors are pre-qualified in preparation for competitive procurements.
