QUALITY BUILT FROM THE START

Before breaking ground, the project vision and expectations are defined in the pre-construction phase.

Ready and equipped to act as a resource every step of the way, CuttingEdge offers an army of experts with an arsenal of tools to ensure we deliver the maximum return on your investment and your vision.

Whether your building or remodeling project is fully defined or in its early stages, CuttingEdge’s dedicated pre-construction team will walk beside you throughout the entire pre-construction process.

When does the pre-construction process begin?

For us, long before pencils are sharpened and formal pricing exercises begin.

​We can be a valuable resource when brought in during the early stages of the project. Services we offer, such as conceptual design layout, material selection, and thoughtful constructibility studies, can support the development of the most effective building strategy from the very start.

Our goal? To ensure that even conceptual numbers are rooted in smart planning and provide a solid foundation to build upon.

Smart progression...

Taking a conceptual price and navigating it through design development requires collaboration, creativity, and an eye towards turning your vision into reality. Our job at this stage of the project is to provide the lowest possible cost for your given level of design and quality, coupled with balancing the fluctuations that occur throughout the process.

...And an integrative approach.

As we progress through pricing stages, CuttingEdge will provide...

• Market trend analysis to prevent surprises and long-lead items

• Latest trends in design developments with real-time cost data

• Design-assisted features with major trade involvement

• Virtual construction implementation

• Life-cycle costing

• ​Real-time cost estimating

• Subcontractor selection based on proven prequalifications

​​Throughout it all, design intent is consistently balanced with cost, feasibility, and constructibility to result in efficiency and value.

A building is only as good as its foundation. When selecting a contractor, carefully consider one that uses the pre-construction approach.

Scheduling starts here.

IN ADDITION TO COST, SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT ALSO STARTS IN THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

Fast-track opportunities are identified early; cost and resource allocations are proactively loaded into traditional construction timelines. There are no stones left unturned and no worst-case scenarios when construction gets underway. 

Thanks to CuttingEdge's integrated approach, there are no hard lines between preconstruction and construction  – simply a seamless transition.
