PRECONSTRUCTION

BEFORE EVER LIFTING A SHOVELFUL OF DIRT, THE GROUNDWORK FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT IS LAID.

Creating Extraordinary Results eliminates surprises and ensures on budget and on-time delivery of a project through collaboration and strategy with an excellent preconstruction team, not to mention exceptional field execution. To pull this off, you need a strategy that specifies who will do what and by when. Working together is necessary. To avoid unpleasant surprises, WHT’s preconstruction team works closely together to make early strategic decisions, provide optimal value throughout the supply chain, and more.

THE PROJECT LIFECYCLE DEFINITION

Many aspects of a project, such as prefabrication and self-perform work, depend on an effective pre-construction plan, which in turn determines the project lifecycle. Because of that, we are quite serious about this step.

Those on the WHT preconstruction team are fiercely analytical, highly motivated advocates who put a premium on predictability. We have found several solutions through our efforts, including:

SUPPORT BEYOND THE NORM

At WHT, we understand the importance of reliable timelines and estimates. That’s why our preconstruction services go beyond conventional open-book cost estimates and value engineering. We aim to disrupt the conventional practice of cost reporting that lags behind design, providing you with more trustworthy information you can rely on. This emphasis on value ensures that your investment is well-placed.

At WHT, we create value for you by utilizing a robust network of suppliers and trade partners. Our strict prequalification requirements ensure that we only work with the best, creating a pool of top subcontractors ready to bid on any job. This thorough process gives you the peace of mind that your project is safe.

We provide our clients with the knowledge they need to choose the best design course of action.

THE PARTNERSHIP MODEL

We communicate with design teams frequently and early on in the project lifecycle to ensure everyone is on the same page, and the design is integrated with the timeline and budget.

We pool our expertise to estimate a building’s cost and set goals based on historical data.

We also use virtual design and construction early on in projects to better evaluate time and money.

Preconstruction is the critical foundation upon which successful construction projects are built. This essential phase encompasses a comprehensive range of planning and preparatory activities that set the stage for efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality project execution. During preconstruction, our expert team collaborates closely with clients, architects, engineers, and stakeholders to develop a thorough understanding of the project’s scope, goals, and challenges.

 

 

We meticulously analyze site conditions, regulatory requirements, and potential risks to create accurate cost estimates and realistic project schedules. Our preconstruction services include value engineering to optimize designs for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, without compromising quality or functionality. 



We leverage cutting-edge technologies and industry best practices to identify innovative solutions and sustainable building methods. Through careful material selection, subcontractor coordination, and proactive problem-solving, we lay the groundwork for smooth project delivery. Investing time and expertise in this crucial planning phase minimizes surprises, reduces potential delays, and maximizes value for our clients. Preconstruction is more than just preparation – it’s a strategic approach that aligns all aspects of the project to ensure its ultimate success, from groundbreaking to final handover.
