The mode of experiencing the spaces virtually is termed as per-construction. This phase of construction enables the client to interpret the area and alleviate mutations. This phase also enables both the client and engineer to gain lucidity. The MEP systems can also be channelised to avoid clash with the structural elements which reduces greater amount of rework in the later stages. Preconstruction also ensures all relevant parties such as engineers, contractors, architects and owners are on the same page, reducing the chances of delays and miscommunication during construction. By planning and establishing timelines, teams can know their expectations and the primary duties they’ll need to perform to ensure the project is successful.

This indulges documentation of project details, technical specifications, identifiable challenges, plan for obstacles, set finial goals and anticipate various cost impacts

Based on the defined scope and challenges, the cost estimates are generated. This nourishes the client to plan for the financial contingency.

This enables the engineer to establish design details such as project’s layout, building materials and systems, quality, style and size

Once the details are established then scheduling the construction process and activities makes the execution systematic and organised.

This phase is very vital and enables to establish different tiers of workforce, and it also enables creation of manpower requirement at different phases of construction.

The preconstruction services shall induce the following
• Accessing the existing condition
• Constructability analysis and review
• Planning – Architectural plan, structural details and Elevational view
• Material specification and detailing
• Cost estimation & Budgeting
• Scheduling, Phasing and Logistics
• Communication
The phase of preconstruction thus serves as the most effective process in developing an effective channel for communication of the construction specification to client and executing manpower. An effective and strong pre-construction plan can chip out
• Additional cost due to rework
• Excessive expense due to improper planning of administrative systems
• Proper plan of manpower allocation to reduce overheads
• Effective procurement cycle to avoid expense on price hikes
• Meticulous planning ensures timely completion which avoid exigencies to both client and contractor (in terms of leveraging interest)
