The pre-construction phase is an incredibly important time for any project, but all too often gets rushed through. If you stow down and take the time to address key elements like budgeting, client relationships, and project feasibility you can build the foundation for a successful and seamless construction phase. We love talking about these topics by sharing the lessons we’ve learned, so today Hamish will be interviewing Matt about the ins and outs of his pre-construction process.
Building Strong Client Relationships
The pre-construction phase is a key time for your relationship with a client. By putting in the work here, you can create a strong foundation to support you throughout the entire process. Matt stresses the importance of having honest conversations with clients, even if it involves delivering difficult news such as budget overruns or unforeseen challenges. Not only does this allow harmonious collaboration it also paves the way for smoother decision-making.
Collaboration with Trades and Contractors
Although it might not be the typical order of things, more and more builders are choosing to get contractors involved in the pre-construction phase. Whether this is a roofer, plumber, electrician, or someone else, by including their expertise early on builders can address potential challenges, optimise project plans, and enhance overall project efficiency.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Technology is always evolving in the construction industry, and the pre-construction phase is no exception. Matt envisions a future where 3D models and advanced planning tools have revolutionised the pre-construction phase, offering builders and clients the chance to visualise the project in detail before construction begins. By using tools like these, builders can enhance accuracy, mitigate risks, and streamline project workflows.
We hope this episode gives you some inspiration to maximise your pre-construction phase by implementing practices such as early contractor involvement, data-driven decision-making, and transparent communication.
Remember, a strong foundation leads to a successful build!
