The preliminary phase of construction is necessary to analyze, plan, design and establish the requirements for the construction of the project before the actual construction begins. The pre-construction objective is to ensure that the plan is clearly defined in every detail and is feasible for all parties involved in all aspects of construction. Your goal is to ensure that everyone on the team has what it takes to make the project successful, operationally, and financially viable.
