Successful project delivery starts with planning, and then planning some more – long before construction even begins. We involve ourselves early in the process to analyze every facet of a project – safety, budget, schedule, quality, logistics, sustainability – to provide clients with a final approach to construction that is logistically plausible and offers the best long-term value for the established budget.

Because preconstruction is all in the details, we involve our estimating, scheduling, safety and executive teams early in every project to ensure we are delivering an approach that addresses project-specific requirements and potential impediments before they have a chance to disrupt the construction phase. It is in the planning stage that we lay the foundation for successful project delivery.

Our preconstruction services approach is comprised of a wide range of services that include:

• Cost Estimating
• Design & Constructability Review

"The contribution of the staff of W.T. Rich Company to this tremendous success cannot be overstated. The efforts and effectiveness of field staff, supervision and management were fundamental to the extraordinary results achieved by the entire project team. In my professional experience, I have rarely had the pleasure of working on a project with such strong players at every position."
