Pre-Construction Services
At MPS Engineering & Construction, we believe that successful projects start well before the first shovel hits the ground. Our pre-construction services are designed to lay a strong foundation for your project by aligning design, scope, budget, and schedule before construction begins. This proactive approach minimizes risk, reduces surprises, and ensures that your vision is fully understood and ready to be executed with precision.
We partner with clients, architects, engineers, and consultants early in the process to provide valuable insight and guidance. Whether you’re planning a commercial facility, a government building, a healthcare center, or an industrial complex, our pre-construction services help transform your concept into a clear and achievable construction plan.
What Our Pre-Construction Services Include
Project Feasibility and Planning
We begin by helping you understand whether your project is viable within your budget, timeline, and site conditions. Our team conducts detailed evaluations that include:
- Site analysis and logistics planning
- Zoning and permitting research
- Environmental assessments
- Risk identification and mitigation strategies
- Evaluation of existing infrastructure and utilities
By identifying potential challenges early, we can make informed decisions and avoid costly delays during construction.
Budget Development and Cost Estimating
Accurate budgeting is critical to keeping your project on track. Our pre-construction team provides:
- Conceptual cost estimates
- Detailed quantity takeoffs
- Value engineering options
- Cost comparisons for alternate materials and systems
- Ongoing cost updates as design progresses
We help clients balance their priorities with financial realities, ensuring that every dollar is spent wisely without compromising quality.
Constructability Reviews
We examine design documents from a builder’s perspective to ensure that proposed plans are practical and efficient to execute. During our constructability reviews, we evaluate:
- Structural systems and foundation plans
- Architectural detailing
- Building envelope solutions
- Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing integration
- Coordination between disciplines
Our goal is to identify design conflicts or inefficiencies before construction begins, minimizing change orders and rework.
Scheduling and Phasing Plans
We develop realistic construction schedules that reflect the full scope of work and allow for efficient sequencing. Our pre-construction scheduling services include:
- Project milestone planning
- Critical path scheduling
- Procurement and lead time analysis
- Phased construction strategies (especially useful for occupied renovations)
- Identification of schedule risks and mitigation options
Our proactive approach to scheduling ensures that all parties are aligned on timelines, helping your project move forward smoothly and predictably.
Permitting and Regulatory Coordination
Navigating permitting processes and regulatory requirements can be one of the most complex aspects of a project. Our team assists with:
- Identifying required permits and approvals
- Preparing documentation for submittals
- Coordinating with local municipalities and regulatory bodies
- Addressing code compliance and inspection planning
With our experience working across jurisdictions and project types, we help streamline approvals and reduce delays caused by regulatory hurdles.
