Prior to submitting for the building permit we can discuss your intentions for undertaking the construction process. We have a long list of local contractors whom we work with regularly, and depending on the size and scope, we can refer several for you to meet with and review. We encourage early meetings with potential contractors. It is also a good time to get familiar with the personalities and approaches of various contractors in finding the right fit for you and your project.

Our firm can also play a role in the bid process. Many times we mainly coordinate with contractors to facilitate accurate estimates and pricing. We can also assist with competitive bidding among a selection of general contractors. Many times a project can gain significant benefit from getting a contractor involved early in the design phase, to help forecast costs and explore cost savings. This can provide valuable early direction to the project scope before the process moves along too far in projects with constrained budgets.
