BEHIND THE BUILD | Pre-Construction
There’s a whole lot that needs to happen before any hammers start swinging!
At NGC, we break pre-construction down into 5 phases:
1️⃣ DEFINE
What are we building and why? We start by understanding your goals, how the space needs to function, must-have features, budget, timeline, and site requirements.
2️⃣ DESIGN
Now we start putting those ideas on paper. Plans, layouts, elevations, engineering, selections, and coordination with designers and other professionals all help turn the vision into an actual project.
3️⃣ VALIDATE
Does the design work with the budget — and can it actually be built as planned? We gather pricing, review constructability, identify potential concerns, and make adjustments while there’s still time to do so efficiently.
4️⃣ FINALIZE
Time to button up the details! We work toward final plans, scope, selections, trade pricing, scheduling, permitting, and construction pricing so everyone understands what is being built before construction begins.
5️⃣ BUILD
Once pre-construction is complete and a construction agreement is in place, it’s finally time to bring all that planning to life!
Good construction starts long before the crew arrives on site. Taking the time to Define, Design, Validate, and Finalize helps set the project up for a smoother Build.
