Finishes and other key design elements are important for both the project owner and architect. One of the highest value-adds provided during preconstruction services is protecting these throughout the design-development process.
Getting involved early in the project as it is being developed is one of the best things a contractor can do for profitable growth. Effective precon services will achieve the design the architect wants within the budget the project owner needs.
