Serving as the strategic groundwork for successful execution, this phase involves a meticulous series of steps beginning with the conceptualization and feasibility study, where project goals and scopes are defined, and potential challenges are assessed. Site selection and evaluation follow, focusing on factors like accessibility, environmental impact, and zoning regulations. Once a suitable site is identified, detailed programming and planning occur, creating a roadmap for project requirements, schedules, and budgets. Thorough cost estimation and budgeting ensure financial viability, while obtaining regulatory approvals and permits aligns the project with legal and code requirements. Collaborating with architects and engineers during the design development stage refines plans, and value engineering identifies cost efficiencies. The pre-construction phase also involves risk management, bid package preparation, and contractor selection, setting the stage for effective project mobilization.
