The advantage of early engagement
We believe the foundation of a successful project is laid before design even begins. In the pre-development phase, CM&B partners with you early to evaluate feasibility, uncover risks, and shape a project strategy that saves time and cost down the road.

The sooner we’re in the room, the better we can serve as a true partner—not just a builder. That early trust pays off across every phase.

How we add value:
Feasibility & site intelligence
We assess existing conditions, adjacent spaces, and systems to help you understand what’s possible—and where the challenges lie.
Rough order of magnitude (ROM) budgeting
Using site analysis, input from trade partners, and real-world cost data, we build accurate early budgets that guide decision-making.
Risk identification
We flag cost drivers, long-lead items, and potential constraints before they impact your schedule or budget.
Lease & tenant work letter review
Our team helps identify gaps in lease agreements to strengthen negotiations and protect your scope.
Why it matters
Engaging CM&B during pre-development gives you a stronger position at the negotiating table, reduces surprises, and sets your project up for a smoother path to completion. Learn how our Pre-Construction services can turn this early advantage into results.
