ON BUDGET

The key to a successfull project is planing. Sigma Construction Management provides complete and thorough preconscruction services.

Preconstruction services are a crucial phase in the construction process that takes place before the physical construction work begins. During this phase, various planning, preparation, and analysis activities are undertaken to ensure a well-organized and successful construction project. Gerry Svoronos of Sigma Construction Management provides 25 years of preconstruction experience. Please see the “Projects”Th section for a small sample of the buildings Gerry Svoronos has been intergraly invloved in completing. The main objectives of preconstruction services are to identify potential challenges, minimize risks, and optimize project outcomes.

The key components of preconstruction services include:

1. Project Planning and Conceptualization: During this stage, the client's vision and requirements are discussed with the Design team. Preliminary plans and designs are developed to align with the client's needs and budget.

2. Feasibility Studies: A feasibility study is conducted to evaluate the practicality and viability of the proposed project. This assessment considers factors like site conditions, environmental impact, zoning regulations, and potential challenges that may affect the project's success.

3. Cost Estimation: Detailed cost estimates are prepared based on the initial designs and project scope. This includes estimates for materials, labor, equipment, permits, and any other associated expenses. Accurate cost estimation is crucial for budget planning and financial decision-making.

4. Value Engineering: Value engineering involves analyzing various design and material alternatives to identify opportunities for cost savings without compromising on quality or functionality.

5. Constructability Review: The construction team reviews the project's design to ensure it is feasible to build and meets construction standards. Any design issues that may affect the construction process or cost are addressed and resolved.

6. Subcontractor Prequalification: Subcontractors and vendors are prequalified during this stage. The construction team evaluates their experience, qualifications, and financial stability to select the most suitable partners for the project.

7. Schedule Development: A detailed project schedule is created, outlining the sequence of activities, milestones, and timelines for each phase of the construction process. This helps to plan the project's timeline and identify potential bottlenecks or scheduling conflicts.

8. Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Potential risks and challenges that may arise during the construction phase are identified and analyzed. Strategies are developed to mitigate these risks and ensure a smooth construction process.

9. Permits and Regulatory Compliance: The necessary permits and approvals from local authorities are obtained during the preconstruction phase to comply with building codes and regulations.

10. Value Proposition and Presentation: The construction team presents the project's value proposition to the client, providing a comprehensive overview of the project's scope, cost, schedule, and benefits.

11. Client Collaboration and Communication: Throughout the preconstruction phase, regular communication and collaboration between the construction team and the client ensure that the project aligns with the client's vision and objectives.

Preconstruction services lay the foundation for a successful construction project by providing a well-defined roadmap and minimizing uncertainties. This phase enables informed decision-making and sets the stage for the construction phase to proceed smoothly and efficiently.
