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. ## We offer the following pre-construction services ## Design Build Identifying the construction and design team best suited for the project. ## Site Analysis and Evaluation Analyzing prospective properties for soils, conditions, topography, zoning requirements and utilities availability. ## Federal, State and Local regulations Navigation of permitting requirements. ## Schematic drawings Develop drawings for accurate budgeting of the project. ## Schematic budgeting Develop accurate budgets using preliminary drawings and criteria provided by the owner. ## Scheduling For the design, permitting and construction phases of the project. ## Fast tracking Identify long-lead items and order during the design and permitting phase of the project. ## Value Engineering Provide alternative construction techniques and materials to achieve owner needs, while lowering the cost of the project. ## Design documents Once the owner is satisfied with the preliminary budget, our design professionals produce a stamped set of documents for permitting. ## Estimating Based on the design documents, competitive bids from our approved list of subcontractors and material suppliers are solicited. These bids are used to provide a “guaranteed price” for the project.
