A vast amount of planning takes place before the actual construction of a commercial facility begins. Pre-construction services are offered as a first step in planning a project and provide details on everything from estimating to design to the scope of complete work. A good construction manager will help the project owner know what to expect and when by providing a step-by-step roadmap for getting the project done.
Pre-Construction Services Agreements, sometimes referred to as Pre-Contract Services These agreements enable clients to employ contractors before the main contract for the construction of the works has been allocated.
As the name suggests, pre-construction services are used before any actual construction begins. These services are part of the pre-construction planning stages of a construction project and are very important to ensure any job goes smoothly.
