At Fitts and Goodwin, we believe pre-construction is key to a successful project.

Our pre-construction services range from identifying a suitable site for construction to developing engineered civil drawings and providing preliminary cost estimates to the client with minimal design effort. At Fitts & Goodwin our project team remains intact from the beginning.

Our project managers handle all cost estimates and interactions with the client from the start of the pre-construction process all the way to the owner move in. We believe continuity plays a large part in making a project run smoothly.
