While it might not seem like it, the pre-construction process is a crucial element of any commercial general contracting project. Without proper preparation and planning, your new build or retrofit job will be subject to delays, costing property managers valuable time and money. In this blog post, we’ll highlight what pre-construction services are, some common examples, and why they matter.
As one of Toronto’s leading providers of commercial general contracting, ABE Construction Group’s pre-construction approach stands above the rest. Keep reading to learn how we avoid common pitfalls with industry-leading solutions.
What are Pre-Construction Services?
Pre-construction services refer to the planning, verification, and coordination activities that occur before construction work begins. Common examples of pre-construction services include:
- Site verification and measuring
- Trades coordination
- Permit coordination
- Material procurement
- Timeline development
Why Pre-Construction Services Matter
Did you know that better pre-construction services often lead to a simpler and smoother general contracting project? Here are some of the benefits:
- Proper Scheduling: Every property manager is familiar with the tight timelines of tenant projects. Proper prep can help you easily deal with pressure from tenants who want to move in as soon as possible.
- Minimize Surprises: Commercial general contracting projects are complex—unexpected things happen all the time. However, with pre-construction services, you can minimize surprises and ensure you are prepared for any roadblocks that might come up.
- Handle Ontario Inspections: General contracting projects are subject to Ontario Building Codes, permits, and inspections. When your general contractor has a solid understanding of these requirements from the get-go, your project will run smoothly.
