As the adage goes, “failing to plan is planning to fail".“Pre Construction" is the most critical phase of any project.
Our experienced and knowledgeable staff works with the client team to define expectations and assess the needs of those who will ultimately occupy the space or home.
GCB Estimators and Project Managers thoroughly review the proposed drawings or scope for completeness, then develop a strategic and well-thought-out estimate for the anticipated work that will reduce the need for change orders during construction.
The GCB team then provides value engineering options for schedule and budget reduction, and will ensure that the most efficient means, methods and materials are utilized at all times. We believe that the easiest path to success, begins at inception.
The Pre Construction process is a collaborative effort at its core, with the same standard of focus and attention held between both GCB & the client.
Services provided during Pre Construction include:
We understand that a keenly designed space can be a great asset to your both your home & work environment. To ensure that the vision for a proposed project meets expectations once complete, GCB works with only the most talented and pre-qualified, A-list subcontractors for all project assignments. In preparation for construction work to begin, the GCB Permitting Department analyzes the multitude of items needed to build within the different municipalities we serve. Our team is adept at securing the construction permits, insurance certifications and government filings needed for any proposed project.
GCB is pleased to provide contracting services as a Construction Manager, General Contractor, or Design-Builder. Due to our detailed approach, it is no surprise that many homeowners, architects, and developers have chosen The “GCB” Way.
Client satisfaction is our utmost priority. At GCB, we understand that our clients have limited resources to dedicate to their capital projects. Our goal as a Construction Manager is to lessen the burden placed upon our clients by providing single point accountability for all project work.
With our clients’ best interests in mind, the GCB team manages all aspects of the building process from its inception, while the client retains full financial control of the project.
We make it a priority to ensure a consistent level of communication is met across all project participants and consultants.
We will identify and address any questions or concerns related to construction, design, schedule and cost, and work with the client team to develop viable solutions for the same.
Whether it be assisting the architecture team during the development phase, to aiding home owners on targeting their dream project, GCB always tailors its services to best suit your project needs.
Just as some clients want total control over their projects, others want little involvement with the actual construction process. Through the use of a General Construction contract, GCB will assume full responsibility for all building related activities and will deliver a turn-key product that meets agreed upon schedule and pricing values.
While clients are kept apprised of all job-related progress via regular meetings with the project team, all risk is borne by GCB and the client is kept removed from the minutia of operations. This is the preferred method of construction for many of our repeat clientele, who have come to rely on the GCB team for excellence in construction under even the most challenging of conditions.
