Manufacturing Preconstruction Services
Let's do it right, right from the start.
Our business model is built on manufacturing preconstruction services and driving value for our clients. In fact, we deliver 95 percent of our work through a collaborative process.
At most companies, manufacturing preconstruction services start and stop with estimating. For us, it includes everything that takes place before construction begins.
From identifying opportunities to site selection and feasibility studies to financing and ROI analysis, we consider the entire lifecycle of your manufacturing facility. Then we bring our manufacturing preconstruction and construction management teams to the table to provide guidance and insights. When you integrate our team into the process from the start, you gain expertise that provides lasting value.
The manufacturing construction market is as volatile as ever, which makes financial planning for new and renovated facilities a challenge. As industry experts, our preconstruction team regularly tracks construction costs and keeps a pulse on the market for our clients.

Multi-Plant Program Management
Our Program Management approach coordinates multiple projects as part of a larger initiative, yielding superior results compared to managing each project independently.
Unique Needs of Each Sub-Project
Most projects within a program, or “sub-projects,” have similarities such as timing, location, technology, and business function. However, each sub-project will have unique scope, timing, and goals. For a program to be successful, each individual sub-project within the program must meet or exceed its specific goals.
Team Continuity
A program approach adds value through a cohesive team that builds relationships, maintains consistent standards for repeat work, incorporates stakeholder input across multiple designs, applies lessons learned to subsequent phases, and benefits all sub-projects in the planning and development process.
Effective Resource Utilization
Program resources, such as engineers, tradespeople, suppliers, managers, and safety personnel, often have responsibilities across multiple sub-projects. A program-wide master schedule helps maintain balanced timing and sequencing of resources, minimizing work lulls and resolving conflicts.
One Collaborative Team
Manufacturing projects are complex, requiring collaboration from various parties. As program managers, we prioritize early partnership to establish goals, roles, risks and concerns. We create a collaborative environment, ensuring all involved parties, including the owner, engineers, trade partners, equipment suppliers and contracted services, are satisfied with the project’s journey and results, including financial objectives. We foster team collaboration regardless of contract specifics.
