Our Approach to Pre-Construction
\r\n
Pre–construction is a critical part of the commercial construction project, as it lays the groundwork for a successful finished construction project. The pre-construction process includes meeting with your team to define your expectations, intent, budget, and timeline. Encore will produce an appropriate design-phase schedule with checkpoints and budgets based on current market conditions, material availability, timeline, and more. By working together to clearly define project standards and timelines, our construction processes can be completed perfectly in accordance with them.
