Services
Pre-Construction
We ensure your project starts with the ultimate goal in mind. Our pre-construction services cover every aspect of your project’s scope.
Maximizing construction efficiencies and reduces risk
We provide insight, expertise, and communication to ensure clear and executable project definitions for all parties involved. Before construction starts, we collaborate with clients on project analysis, strategy, and feasibility. Involving a general contractor like ITF early in the process guides clients through the project from a constructibility perspective.
Our team collaborates with engineers to identify systems and infrastructural details that need specific courses of action.
Defining project goals
Emphasizing value over cost reduction, VE encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving, delivering cost-effective solutions without compromising design integrity. Our experts’ depth of experience and lateral thinking drive alternative solutions that respect your design. This approach may result in cost-neutral or even cost-saving solutions over the life of the facility or construction process. We offer rapid cost analysis for various design options to model alternate solutions.
Identifying potential issues
Incorporating features like parking may pose design challenges, while potential issues such as flooding, erosion, and procurement delays for special materials/equipment can arise. These challenges are addressed during the pre-construction phase to ensure smooth project execution.
Pre-Construction surveys
A pre-construction survey is a thorough examination of a property and its surroundings, including adjacent buildings, sidewalks, and landscaping, conducted before any construction begins. This survey is essential for contractors and architects to identify potential problems early on and determine if any damage has occurred due to construction activities. It helps detect major issues such as drainage or foundation problems, as well as smaller concerns like grading to level uneven land. Addressing these issues before construction or occupancy can prevent challenges during the building process or after completion.
