Preconstruction

90% of cost savings are found during preconstruction

Imagine if you could visualize potential pitfalls in a construction project before breaking ground? It would certainly positively impact your budget, timeline and other aspects of the build. That’s why we offer preconstruction services and make the right decisions from day one.

Focused on driving down the Owner’s cost while improving quality

On every project, we take a “big picture” view to save money and time and to understand the full scope of work. We rely on up-to-the-minute information and input from a number of talented professionals. We also use a combination of advanced computer modeling tools and old-fashioned construction expertise – the kind that’s steered our company since founder Stephen B. Ballard began the business nearly forty years ago.

Every detail is important to your budget and your peace of mind. Throughout the project, we present all viable options, make a recommendation, and give you enough time to make decisions carefully and thoughtfully. Sometimes, we must determine unique approaches to address construction issues. Whatever the challenge, we have the know-how and experience to make it happen.

Through our disciplined and systematic approach, we optimize:

+
–

Cost

We begin producing your building well before construction begins. With a detailed approach to cost estimates and life cycle cost analysis, SBBCC has established a reputation for delivering the finished project within budget.

+
–

Schedule

ALL of our professionals are involved in the preconstruction process, saving time and streamlining the communication process.

+
–

Quality

With a focus on achieving your goals, SBBCC works in tandem with the design team to select systems and materials, as well as adjust designs for constructability. This proven methodology guides the design process, establishes milestone dates and develops accurate budget estimates.

+
–

Safety

Above all, our preconstruction process creates an organized site and a foundation for a safe build.

+
–

Site Logistics

SBBCC creates a timeline for each stage of the project during preconstruction that includes a total inventory of materials, equipment, and tools needed for each stage of the project. Effectively managing these details from their source to your site provides waste reduction, cost savings, and allows us to work quickly and without interruption.

Jason Armstrong

The main part of the collaborative effort is that we’re all focused on the same goal which is getting the project built on time within budget and providing the absolute maximum value and quality to the owner that we possibly can. We’ve got that level of leadership and experience that our most senior guys are here [during the constructibility meeting] even if it’s not their project.
