A Successful Project Begins with Pre-Construction

As a full-service commercial construction company, Kopplow pre-construction services provide your projects with a solid foundation for success. Our core services include scope assessment, financial modeling and budgeting, value engineering and analysis, procurement of materials and on-going strategy meetings throughout the project. From a dedicated project manager to onsite supervision and construction management throughout the project, our team applies a unique owner’s perspective with a contractor’s knowledge to ensure your project stays within budget and on time.

Our Construction Management Process Includes

Budgeting &
Estimating

We use a combination of relevant historical costs and a network of qualified subcontractors to provide early or conceptual budgets based on limited plans. As the design evolves and more detail is outlined, these budgets are updated to be more accurate.

Value
Engineering

We offer experience-based cost-saving ideas with the goal of preserving the intent of the design. Our team meets with the owner and design professionals to review suggestions, approve or reject items, develop contingencies and finalize the contract.

Scheduling
Projects

Preliminary schedules are based on similar, previous projects and are refined with continual feedback from subcontractors throughout the process. Our team analyzes for quality considerations, degree of difficulty, order of completion and logistics considerations to meet project timelines.

Material
Procurement

As design progresses and material selections are chosen, Kopplow will investigate any availability and lead time issues. If conflicts in the schedule arise, advanced purchase can be arranged, or alternative selections can be evaluated.

Design-Build
Assistance

We do not employ “in house” architects or engineers; however, we have developed relationships with many professionals and assist owners in assembling the best teams for their projects. Our subcontractors can arrange for certain mechanical, electrical or plumbing design-build scopes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Construction Services with Kopplow

1Does it really help to have a General Contractor on board during the design phase?
Absolutely! It’s imperative for an owner to develop a real budget early on so that they can make educated decisions as well as understanding scheduling and procurement challenges and plan accordingly.
2Doesn’t Value Engineering just mean making the building look cheaper?
Not necessarily. In fact, there are always opportunities to tweak certain aspects or substitute different manufacturing of material or equipment that saves significant dollars while preserving design intent.

We have 50 years of history of working alongside owners helping them assemble the right team to design, develop and build their project. We’ll take you from concept to completion.
