Preconstruction Expertise

BUILDING BETTER
FROM THE BEGINNING

The vision, expectations and definitions of success are defined in the pre-construction phase, before the shovel hits the ground.

Ready and equipped to act as a resource every step of the way, Chandlee provides an arsenal of tools – and an army of experts – to ensure we deliver the maximum return on your investment and your vision.

Whether your building program is fully defined or in its infancy, Chandlee’s dedicated in-house pre-construction team will walk beside you through the entire pre-construction process.

LAYING A SOLID FOUNDATION

WHEN DOES THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION PROCESS START?

For us, preferably long before sharpening pencils and having a formal pricing exercise.

When brought up in a hurry, we can be a valuable resource. In-house site selection support and services such as conceptual site layout, laser scan analysis of existing spaces, and thoughtful construction capability studies can support the development of the most effective construction strategy from the outset.

Our goal? To ensure that even conceptual numbers are contained in the SMART plan and provide a solid foundation for construction.

SMART PROGRESSION…

Taking a conceptual value and navigating it through design development requires collaboration, creativity and a look to the future. Ultimately, our job at this stage is to provide the lowest possible cost for your given design and quality level, while balancing the market fluctuations that occur throughout the process.

The pre-construction team at Chandlee creates state-of-the-art 3D and 4D models for a thorough investigation of a site. In design-build and initial budget scenarios on unscheduled sites, Cytops provides an unmatched efficiency and “broad brush” picture for our customers. However, AGTEK shines on perfectly designed sites when geotechnical information is available, providing value engineering data to help the engineering team with redesigns.

…AND AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH PRICING STAGES, Chandlee WILL ENSURE:

Continual market trend analysis occurs, preventing surprises and accommodating long-lead items
Instant response to design developments with real-time cost data

SCHEDULING
STARTS HERE

IN ADDITION TO COST, SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT ALSO STARTS IN THE PRECONSTRUCTION PHASE.

Fast-track opportunities are identified early; cost and resource allocations are proactively loaded into traditional construction timelines. There are no stones left unturned and no worst-case scenarios when boots hit the ground.

SPEAKING OF BOOTS…

Thanks to an integrated approach, there are no hard lines between preconstruction and construction – simply a seamless transition.

We truly enjoyed the total Design to Build experience with Chandlee & Sons. They are an extremely professional team and work hard to ensure that you get what you need for your business.
