What to Expect When Pre-Construction Begins
Existing Condition Analysis
Before construction can begin, we need to address the necessary conditions to start your project. These conditions typically include economic, zoning, environmental, and existing land uses. The comprehensive plan provides data and surveys to best ensure a solid foundation for the development and avoid potential obstacles.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Building Information Modeling is the foundation of digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. We utilize BIM to create and manage data throughout design, construction, and operations processes. This keeps information readily and easily available throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Permitting & Entitlements
Once the design process is complete, it is essential to obtain permits and entitlements. It can be a frustrating process navigating through a mix of local, state, and federal regulations, which is why it is important to plan ahead and secure a team well versed in obtaining permits.
Cost Estimating & Control
The next step in successful pre-construction is cost estimation and budget control. Determining the project’s pricing, materials, labor, and more will help your project stay within the time frame and save you money.
Considering the budget, updating cost, and accounting for time are just a few of the actions that Northwest Builders take to ensure that your project is a success. Contact us today to discuss pre-construction services.
Strategic Plan Development

The more planning finished ahead of time, the smoother the construction phase will run. Along with obtaining materials, this is also the step where equipment rentals are secured. Procurement ensures that your project stays on schedule and within budget!
