Our Services
Preconstruction
Engage Contracting distinguishes itself through a modern, transparent approach to every project. We provide clients with a clear roadmap for each phase, prioritizing their needs and fostering collaboration from the outset. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the project's scope, timeline, and cost impact, saving clients time and preventing costly errors while allowing for necessary adjustments throughout the process.
1
Scope Assessment
For projects involving renovation or expansion rather than new construction, addressing pre-existing conditions is crucial. This includes assessing design and structural integrity to determine whether a complete replacement, significant renovation, or minimal changes are necessary. In tenant improvement projects, careful consideration of structural impacts, material selection and availability, and building vital systems (i.e., HVAC, electrical, etc.) is essential. A detailed analysis ensures a comprehensive bid package, preventing costly surprises during demolition or construction.
2
ROM Cost Take-Offs
Understanding associated costs before the design phase starts provides invaluable insights. Our team leverages current market knowledge to provide a general cost estimate before detailed design work begins. ROM (Rough Order of Magnitude) estimates, typically presented as a range, help clients make initial budgetary decisions and determine project feasibility. While less precise than later-stage estimates, ROM estimates are crucial in early project planning.
3
Permit, Zoning, and Utility Coordination
Early coordination of permits and utilities is crucial for a smooth and efficient construction process. By initiating these processes early, we identify potential issues related to permits, zoning, and utilities that may impact the project schedule or budget. This proactive approach allows for solutions such as adjusting the timeline for lengthy permit approvals or rerouting utilities to avoid conflicts. This minimizes delays and unexpected costs, ultimately saving clients time and money.
4
Scheduling and Phasing
Effective construction scheduling and correct project phasing are critical for success. A well-planned schedule ensures that tasks are completed efficiently and in the right order, minimizing delays and cost overruns. Proper phasing ensures logical sequence completion, allowing for smooth transitions between tasks. Effective scheduling and phasing also optimize resource allocation, ensuring that labor, materials, and equipment are used efficiently. Our team utilizes cutting-edge software to meticulously identify, track, and manage project progress. Engage Contracting's comprehensive pre-construction services set the foundation for successful project outcomes, marked by efficiency, transparency, and client satisfaction.
