Pre-Construction Services

The Advantage of Early Engagement

The foundation of a successful project is laid long before drawings are finalized. By engaging CM&B early, you gain a partner committed to collaboration every step of the way. Together, we evaluate feasibility, uncover risks, and shape a strategy that protects your budget, strengthens your negotiations, and sets the stage for a smoother construction journey.

Pre-construction is where success begins. Planning early means predictable outcomes and better builds.

How we add value:

Feasibility & Early Site Intelligence

We assess existing conditions, review lease requirements, and identify risks—working closely with you to guide early decisions.

Early Budgeting & ROM Development

We develop accurate initial budgets grounded in site analysis, trade partner insight, and real market data.

Risk & Constraint Identification

We flag cost drivers, long-lead items, and potential challenges before they impact schedule or cost.

Constructability & Design Coordination

We collaborate closely with architects and engineers to ensure scope, cost, and timing stay aligned.

Budget & Schedule Refinement

We translate design updates into detailed budgets and schedules for greater predictability. Throughout the process, we are continuously evaluating the design for cost-saving alternatives.

Value Optimization

We drive a competitive bid process at the subcontractor level. We then take the time to properly level subcontractor proposals to ensure accurate scope is captured before we make subcontractor awards.

Procurement Strategy

Throughout the process, we identify lead times and establish a procurement strategy to ensure schedules are maintained.

Why it matters

Pre-construction is strongest when approached as a true partnership. By collaborating from feasibility through procurement, we reduce surprises, strengthen decision-making, and create a coordinated plan. Together, we turn vision into action and set the stage for a predictable, successful build.
