Why Pre-Construction?

Without early and sufficient Pre-construction services; construction takes longer, costs are higher, more decision fatigue, more mistakes and surprises as well as less buy-in with subcontractor availability and long lead items.

Costing out a custom home and remodel is much more complicated than most people think. There are many variables in the existing conditions, design, product options and finish and systems selections and they are unique for each project. This is why Madrona Northwest strongly believes in teaming up with a contractor that provides pre-construction services that help to flush out these issues early on so that you can be in control of your project and confidently make the best decisions with the proper detailed information our pre-construction services provide.

Reasons for a pre-construction agreement

1. Buy-in Commitment

Reserve subcontractors early, gather their input and utilize added time to challenge their pricing/approach... before signing them up.

2. Build Fast

Start a living/breathing construction schedule with early team inputs, several back-ups plans, and help prioritize the most critical design and client decision deliverables...before breaking ground.

3. Secure Procurement

Early Buy-out of materials, fixtures and long-lead items (e.g. everything due to market demand and cont’d manufacturing delays...). Reduce risk.

4. Value Engineer

Early collaboration with builder/architect/client to bring the highest value of the clients $$$, to exceed the clients expectations and keep a bullseye on architecture intent.

5. Ease Decision Fatigue

Jumpstart prioritizing and making many of the complex decisions on finishes, functions and available options before construction begins, which allows the client to enjoy the live build process more.

6. Accurate Budget

Using all the information from the preconstruction process to create an accurate build budget that we can adhere to based on actual site conditions, client feedback and finish and system selections that are not placeholder allowances, but are actual selections that the clients truly want.
