FAQ
Questions About Our Preconstruction Services
Everything You Need to Know About Hiring a Pre-Construction Consulting Firm in Texas.
What are pre-construction services, and why do I need them?
Pre-construction services include the planning, estimation, scheduling, and risk analysis of a construction project, which occurs prior to the start of construction. This ensures that your budget is protected, your design can be built, and your permits can be secured in a timely manner. Projects utilizing formal pre-construction services have 28% fewer budget overruns and 4+ months fewer delays.
How much do pre-construction services cost in Texas?
The fees associated with pre-construction services range from 1 to 3 percent of the total project construction costs. For example, for a $2M commercial construction project, the fees associated with pre-construction services would be $20,000 to $60,000, which can often be justified by the savings achieved by utilizing these services, which can be 5 to 15 times the fees.
What is the difference between pre-construction consulting and construction management pre-construction services?
While pre-construction consulting services often refer to the services provided by an independent consultant, construction management pre-construction services refer to the services provided by a construction manager who will ultimately build the project. This can be either a consultant or a construction manager, depending on your project.
When in the project process is it best to utilize your preconstruction planning services?
The answer is, the sooner the better. The best time is before the design process even starts. The greatest benefit from preconstruction planning services is achieved before the schematic design process, as the cost to change is very low. However, Wallinsiders can provide substantial value during the design development phase or during the construction document phase.
Do you provide preconstruction services for residential projects in the state of Texas?
Yes, we do. Our preconstruction services include custom homes, high-end residential, multifamily, and mixed-use residential projects within the state of Texas.
