Planning and development is the first phase in a construction project. This stage involves:
- Finding a property location
- Pre-designing the building/facility
- Introducing the architect and general contractor
BIG PROJECTS
THE INITIAL PLANNING
FROM START TO FINISH
When contractors join architects in the design phase, project cost is easier to estimate. If you go this route, you will gain information about current market price and be more able to make timely decisions. With open lines of communication between architects and contractors, your construction document package and detailing will be stronger. The design team must make sure that all designs meet building codes and regulations.
