The emphasis of Construction Management and
Preconstruction Services in the AEC industry

• Preconstruction Services

As the construction industry continues to expand,
so does construction management or construction
project management. Construction Management
companies are crucial drivers to supervise the
complete construction process, this includes
budgets, cost estimations, work progress,
collaboration with various stakeholders, and more.

• Furthermore, managing a construction project
  whilst hiring Construction Management Firms helps
  every individual understand activities and
  processes of construction project management.

A construction project management individual or a
BIM Engineer requires the right technique and
tools to make the project successful. Whilst
considering projects that are backed by project
management services, the focus changes from a
predictive approach to an objective based
approach and more.

• This includes, managing the entire lifecycle of
  the project in terms of scope, time, build
  quality, and more. Depending on the type of
  construction, construction management companies
  need to deploy the right strategies for
  residential and commercial projects.

• This is again broken down into various
  sub-projects viz. residential building,
  industrial engineering, commercial construction,
  and construction engineering. The deployment of
  construction project management is important for
  preconstruction services as well. If youre
  looking at holistic project success, then
  pre-construction planning is one of the most
  important aspects to plan, analyze, and
  anticipate problems and deliverables very early
  on in the project life-cycle.

• Easily anticipate project scope
• A new project can be interesting as well as
  challenging, but every stakeholder needs to stay
  focused during the pre-construction phase.
  Furthermore, a thorough review of the technical
  specifications, submittal data, and plans needs
  to be carried out to anticipate a positive
  project scope. Through feasibility analysis,
  construction management professionals can deliver
  valuable insights for the entire project in terms
  of understanding deliverables, timelines, risks,
  building specifications, and more. It helps every
  project individual to stay on the same page and
  thoroughly understand the project.

6

• Budget Forecasting
• Construction management companies are well-versed
  in budget calculations, as a thorough cost
  analysis helps owners, individuals, and
  stakeholders determine the fate of the project in
  terms of project designs, a focused timeline, and
  the materials required to complete the project.
  Budgets are usually calculated in the
  preconstruction phases, and various BIM companies
  run preconstruction services based on realistic
  expectations that can predominantly reduce cost
  and waste. Budget forecasting improves the
  overall scope of work to an extensive limit.

• Scheduling the project
• A tight schedule helps teams stay prepared for
  the actual construction phase. It is an important
  tool for all the stakeholders to achieve project
  success and hit vital milestones whilst
  controlling project costs. Project scheduling is
  an important aspect of the building process as
  various teams, trades, and specialists require
  significant project coordination in terms of
  precise documentation, reports, and project
  analysis.

• Begin the project on the right foot
• Hiring a project management consultant or
  pre-construction professionals can significantly
  change the direction of the project and make
  informed decisions throughout the entire building
  process. Project management companies establish
  project priorities discuss or understand project
  goals and provide the project team with the right
  perspective in terms of construction members,
  flaws, or errors, this helps the building project
  mitigate issues before the actual construction
  project begins, and also eliminates unwanted
  surprises that can delay project timelines during
  construction.

• What is the role of a construction project
  manager?
• Owners and various stakeholders can leverage
  construction management services through
  exceptional project execution from construction
  project managers. Construction project managers
  keep the project moving according to plan, and
  they make sure it finishes on time and budget
  whilst meeting the required specs and plans. A
  construction project manager sets up various
  parameters and calendars to hire personnel like
  sub-contractors or on-site workforce as well.

10

• The role of construction management companies
  includes
• Time management for various projects
• Budget management
• Building quality management
• Oversee various contracts
• Safety management
• Team Management to assign roles and
  responsibilities

11

• A pre-construction phase consists of the
  following achievements
• Determination of Project Scope
• Determination of Project Budget
• Clear identification of Project Details
• Collaboration with other team members
• Project Inspection and communication
•

Effective construction management and
preconstruction planning is essential for every
project to achieve the required deadlines and
enable smooth project delivery. A preconstruction
phase is one of the most crucial phases, and it
needs to be defined clearly to establish a
well-defined project scope, budget, and schedule
so that each team member works towards the same
goal.
