About Preconstruction Budgeting & Estimating
Preconstruction services help property owners and developers make informed decisions before committing to construction. As your general contractor, we provide budgeting, value engineering, and constructability input that shapes successful projects.
Our preconstruction process goes beyond simple estimating. We analyze designs for construction efficiency, identify opportunities for value engineering, develop realistic schedules, and help owners understand the full scope of their projects.
Early involvement in preconstruction allows us to influence design in ways that reduce cost and improve constructability. Changes made during design cost a fraction of changes made during construction. We work with design teams to identify these opportunities.
For developers working on multiple projects, our preconstruction services provide consistent budgeting approaches and historical cost data that supports proforma development and investment decisions.

Frequently asked questions
Preconstruction Budgeting & Estimating in Irving, TX
Common questions from developers and property owners planning preconstruction budgeting & estimating projects across North Texas.
When should preconstruction services begin?
Ideally, preconstruction involvement starts during schematic design when the most impactful decisions are being made. Even later involvement provides value, but earlier engagement maximizes cost savings and schedule optimization.
What deliverables come from preconstruction?
Deliverables typically include detailed estimates, value engineering recommendations, constructability reviews, preliminary schedules, and risk assessments. Specific deliverables are tailored to project needs and owner requirements.
How accurate are preconstruction budgets?
Budget accuracy depends on design development—early budgets based on concepts may vary 15-20%, while budgets from developed designs are typically within 5-10%. We communicate confidence levels with each estimate.
Do you provide preconstruction as a separate service?
Yes, we offer preconstruction services both as part of our general contractor engagement and as standalone consulting. However, the greatest value comes when preconstruction transitions seamlessly to construction.
