Preconstruction
Every construction project has unique requirements that necessitate careful planning for successful execution. The Preconstruction phase is more than just planning; it shapes the entire project. Every detail and decision made during this stage significantly impacts the final outcome, making it the most critical phase of any construction endeavor.
Our preconstruction services provide a comprehensive understanding of the plan, budget, and schedule, ensuring alignment with expectations and laying the groundwork for successful project delivery. A key aspect of this process is identifying and addressing potential issues early, enabling us to proactively mitigate challenges before budgets and timelines are finalized. This thorough preparation enhances efficiency, conserves resources, improves quality, and adds value.
We view preconstruction as the starting point of a seamless, high-quality building experience that establishes a solid foundation for success from day one.
Project Delivery / Collaboration
Mason has extensive experience with a variety of project delivery methods, including Design-Build, Design-Assist, Design-Bid-Build, and other variations. Our approach is centered on collaboration, and we believe that our preconstruction expertise is what sets us apart from the competition.
Cost Estimating
Our team utilizes up-to-date historical pricing and analytics to produce accurate, attainable estimates. We provide milestone estimates at every design phase, along with interim cost updates to keep the team informed as plans evolve.
Value Engineering & Analysis
During the Preconstruction phase, we collaborate closely with the project team to understand the goals and key deliverables. Our role is to research and provide guidance on where adjustments can be made to reduce costs without compromising performance, quality, or long-term maintenance. The aim is to keep your project on budget while preserving the original design intent.
Constructability
Constructability is a cornerstone of our cost and quality control process. We leverage our in-house expertise, and when necessary, independent consultants, to review plans and specifications. This allows us to identify opportunities to reduce costs by modifying details or construction methods, without compromising performance, quality, or long-term maintenance.
Schedule & Long-lead Item Management
At Mason Builders, we believe that effective scheduling is the roadmap to a project’s success. Our team has a proven track record of completing projects on time. Continual monitoring and updating of the project schedule is essential, but we understand that challenges inevitably arise. What sets Mason Builders apart is our ability to develop creative solutions to overcome these obstacles.
Sustainability
More than just a catchphrase, we are deeply committed to sustainable construction practices. With several LEED Accredited Professionals on our team, we can provide effective strategies to enhance your building’s energy consumption, improve water efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and elevate indoor environmental quality. Our goal is to create sustainable spaces that benefit both the environment and your bottom line.
