PRE-CONSTRUCTION

“BH Design Group” engages itself completely during the whole preconstruction processes – including the overall planning, coordination and control of clients’ project to ensure that actual construction and execution of the project has a strong foundation.

BHDG handles specific tasks such as preparation of cost estimates and sourcing to help clients make informed decisions pertaining to their intended project. A team of experienced, skilled professionals assist in the decisions relating to value engineering, constructability reviews and scheduling.

As a direct result of its ongoing, perpetual attention to these services, BHDG continually meets and exceeds the project requirements for its clients and guarantees the project achieves a successful takeoff.

Every construction is unique in scope, but the process is systemically applied to each construction project.

We seek to get involved early in the design phase so that we can manage the project more efficiently, provide effective building solutions, and identify challenges early on to mitigate design changes after construction commencement.

This involves detailed pre-construction planning crucial to successful construction and on-time delivery and allows the client and team a clear pathway to the bidding process, construction phase, and through to completion.
