Making your vision a reality
Construction can be a difficult, stressful process. You need experienced, hardworking professionals on your side to keep everything running smoothly. At BCG, our team is here for you from the very beginning to make sure you get the results you want.
The first step of our preconstruction phase is gaining a complete understanding of your vision and objectives so that we can put together an appropriate plan. It’s critical that we identify any potential challenges or unknowns early on so that we can find tailored solutions to overcome them. This is why, if possible, we prefer to be involved from the outset of your project.
We find that the easy solution is very often not the right solution. To get the right answers for our clients, we leave no stone unturned. Some of the preconstruction and due diligence services we can offer assistance with are:
- Scope Definition
- Budgets & scheduling
- Preliminary Drawings
- Land acquisition
- Contract review & procurement
- Securing permits & approvals
- Cost estimates & evaluation
- Risk assessments
- Equipment and material direct procurement
- Community outreach
Before you launch your new development project, we can help perform the due diligence and the cost analysis needed to ensure its feasibility. This can involve market, traffic or environmental studies as well as assisting you with budgeting, cash-flow analysis and financing.
We are highly experienced working with banks, attorneys and title companies to ensure that everything fits together as planned. To help you assess viability, we also work closely with architects, civil engineers, environmental engineers, geotechnical engineers, surveyors and general contractors. Areas where we get involved include:
- Site analysis
- Managing the entitlement process
- Strategic planning & scheduling
- Bringing together the labor and resources you need
- Contract auditing & dispute intervention
- Risk management
Assessing value-add and retrofit opportunities
When you are evaluating a value-add opportunity or retrofit, you need to protect your investment by mitigating as much risk as possible. We can help evaluate the existing facility and come up with different options on the design and construction side for budgets, schedules, and preliminary drawings. We can also provide reports on the existing conditions of the facility. Our property inspections typically include:
- Existing utility Infrastructure & consumption
- Immediate needs
- Long-term needs
- Adverse property conditions
- Deferred maintenance needs
- Life safety & accessibility issues
- Existing equipment information
- Building dimensions
- Site access
- Parking information
