Preconstruction Planning for Project Success

At Martin Bros., we’ve built a strong track record of delivering projects on time and within budget by leveraging the expertise of our highly qualified team and fostering clear, collaborative communication across all trade partners. During the preconstruction phase, we thoroughly evaluate material options and construction methods to align with your target budget and project goals. Our proactive approach has consistently uncovered cost-saving opportunities and mitigated risks before construction begins. With decades of combined experience, our preconstruction team brings the insight and foresight needed to lay the groundwork for project success.

Advantages of Preconstruction 

Knowing the end goal of your project makes it easier to establish the right processes from the start. Collaboration between our team and yours allows us to evaluate all upcoming phases, ensuring that everyone understands the project objectives, secures necessary approvals, and implements the most effective strategies to maximize value—all before we even step onto the job site.

Preconstruction helps to: 

  • Coordinate plans between contractors and trade partners
  • Anticipate and reduce construction costs
  • Identify and plan for potential challenges
  • Enhance jobsite safety
  • Shorten project duration
  • Minimize unforeseen changes
  • Increase construction productivity
  • Improve scheduling and workforce management

Determining Project Budgets 

If you want your project to be successful, it’s crucial to establish the budget early in the process. The Martin Bros. team has a sharp eye for interpreting architectural drawings and the expertise to fill in any gaps, delivering complete GMAX values without exclusions. From detailed budget breakdowns to forecasting shifts in market conditions, we leave no stone unturned in identifying and planning for potential roadblocks.

We’ll provide a clear, comprehensive estimate—focused on delivering high value without inflating costs—so you have full transparency into your project’s projected expenses. If the initial estimate exceeds your target, we’re ready to suggest alternative solutions that align with your budget. Our estimators draw on a vast historical cost database and bring decades of engineering and project management experience to every proposal.

Project Bidding

For nearly a century, Martin Bros. has set the standard for delivering projects with minimal variance between estimated and final costs. Our bidding process goes beyond numbers—leveraging the expertise of our in-house engineering and BIM teams to thoroughly review every detail. We ensure a complete, accurate interpretation of the architect’s intent while avoiding substandard materials, so you receive quality and clarity from the start.
