Construction Partnering
When selecting a partner for a construction project, it's important to consider not just their ability to manage the construction phase, but also their approach to pre construction. A good pre construction partner should:
Understand the client's needs and gather all necessary information to inform the project planning process.
Foster a collaborative environment and encourage input from relevant specialists.
Be dedicated to cost certainty and optimizing the budget through accurate estimating and identification of value engineering opportunities.
Adopt open-book principles and be transparent with all pre construction information.
Optimize phasing and logistics to minimize disruptions and ensure efficiency during construction.
Assemble a qualified team with relevant expertise and experience.
Put the client's best interests first and be responsive to their needs and concerns.
Thus there are several factors to consider when selecting a partner for your construction project:
Experience: Look for a team with a track record of successfully completing projects similar to yours in scope and size.
Capabilities: Consider the team's expertise in areas such as design, project management, and construction.
Reputation: Research the company's reputation within the industry and among past clients.
Communication: Look for a team that is responsive and communicative, and that you feel comfortable working with.
Cost: Obtain estimates from multiple firms and compare them carefully to ensure you are getting a fair price.
Collaboration: Consider the team's approach to collaboration and their ability to work effectively with other stakeholders.
Flexibility: Look for a team that is open to changes and can adapt to unexpected challenges that may arise during the project.
It may also be helpful to meet with potential partners in person to discuss your project in detail and get a sense of their approach and style.
