Preconstruction

WELBRO recognizes the critical importance of constant team interaction and collaboration during the preconstruction process to drive an environment of transparency, teamwork, communication, and out-of-the-box thinking between us, our clients, and our design partners. In order to foster these conditions, WELBRO takes a unique approach to the typical preconstruction process by implementing early collaboration and comprehensive design reviews with all team members involved. Rather than working with the traditional milestones (Concepts, Schematics, etc.), WELBRO’s approach includes working with the designers in smaller, more manageable increments from the very beginning of design to avoid cost overruns or redesigns later in the process. Early workshops are held to decide the direction of each building system and components before the actual design advances even into schematics. After establishing a clear project direction, we incorporate major subcontractor input to increase our budget accuracy and leverage our trade partners expertise in design review and value management for their respective scopes.  By following this disciplined approach to preconstruction, we find this process ensures the project budget and design schedule are maintained from the start, while managing risk and providing the highest quality project.
