Smart services before ground breaking

Discover how Maverick Estimating’s Pre-Construction Budgeting service helps construction professionals develop accurate, comprehensive budgets early in the project lifecycle. Our expertise ensures better cost control, feasibility analysis, and stakeholder confidence, streamlining your project’s success from the start.

Preconstruction services are a crucial set of activities a contractor provides to the owners before construction begins. The primary goal is to thoroughly plan, analyze, and optimize the project to minimize risks, control costs, and ensure a smooth and successful construction phase. We assist contractors, designers and owners in creating comprehensive budgets during the early phases, ensuring all aspects are accounted for before project commencement.

Project Evaluation and Feasibility Studies:

• Initial Meetings: Collaborating with the client to deeply understand their vision, goals, budget, and specific requirements for the project.
• Site Analysis: Assessing the proposed construction site, including topography, soil conditions, existing infrastructure, environmental factors, access, and potential challenges. This helps determine the site’s suitability and influences design and cost.
• Existing Conditions Analysis: For renovation or addition projects, a detailed assessment of the current structure’s integrity, systems (MEP), and potential integration issues.

Cost Estimating and Budgeting:

• Conceptual Estimates: Providing early, high-level cost estimates based on preliminary designs and historical data to help the client understand the project’s financial feasibility.
• Detailed Cost Estimates: As designs progress, developing increasingly accurate and detailed estimates, incorporating material takeoffs, labor costs, equipment costs, subcontractor bids, and indirect expenses.
• Budget Management: Continuously refining and tracking the budget throughout the preconstruction phase, providing cost models and financial forecasts to the client.
