Pre-Construction Construction
Slide 35
Meaningful Pre-Construction What helps the Contractor? What can
you do as the Owner? What should you expect from your
contractor?
Slide 36
What Helps the Contractor? Understanding the goals for the
project Scope Schedule Budget
Slide 37
What Helps the Contractor? Understand the key elements of the
design Understand the use and purpose of the facility
Slide 38
What Helps the Contractor? What do you want out of your
sustainable building? Longevity Certification Energy efficiency How
far ($) are you willing to go?
Slide 39
What can you do as the Owner? Make sure you understand the
design-Is it what you want? Get involved, understand the details
and costs Make informed and decisive decisions Have a sense of
urgency Develop trust within the team
Slide 40
What should you expect from your Contractor? Advise on which
details work and which dont Detailed explanation of costs Where are
you spending your money?
Slide 41
What should you expect from your Contractor? Analyze cost for
various products, details and systems Develop extensive list of
cost reduction items Advise on product availability Sustainable
Credit point analysis
Slide 42
Construction Process Strength of the Team Sustainable
requirements Implementation of details Completion and
follow-up
Slide 43
Strength of the Team Define a process that allows for a strong
team Owner should help develop good relationships within the Team
Fairness and timeliness Good Communication

Slide 45
Implementation of Details Define details that are hard to
accomplish Make a Plan Engage specialists and subcontractors
Inspect upon first installation Field testing and follow-up
inspections
