Our Services
Pre-Construction
The RWC Pre-Construction process enables clients to achieve best solutions from the outset. By reviewing all aspects of the project, we can foresee and resolve issues before they arise. As part of the pre-construction process we not only consider for our scope of work, but engage with our clients to determine the best sequence for building; reviewing site logistics, client objectives, and other unique challenges.
Our expertise and experience, industry knowledge and modern technology bring significant value to the project ensuring alternatives are considered and beneficial solutions implemented.
Our elite pre-construction services include:
• Detailed estimates and budgets, based on our knowledge and experience of most project types.
• Collaboration with the GC and design team to review construct-ability and value-engineering; phasing and scheduling logistics
• Implement alternate innovative construction means, methods, materials, and technologies
