A Foundation of Planning
Every successful project requires a strong foundation with planning. General contractors know that if the most accurate information is developed during the preconstruction phase, the project will be a success.
Many issues can be recognized early and avoided altogether by including the major subs in pre-construction planning.
Danard Electric, Inc. has proven repeatedly that our assessments increase value, provide efficiency and help to create a stronger team effort.
We Identify Budget and Constructability Issues Up-Front
Danard Electric, Inc. looks for budget and constructability issues first. We practice this model on every project and promote a collaborative process among the general contractor, owner, design team and other subcontractors. Danard Electric personnel assist before and during the design development phase, with project budgeting in the conceptual stage.
Using our extensive historical cost database and our skilled personnel, we produce extremely accurate conceptual cost estimates early in the process. Our team reviews plans and specifications in search of excessive costs and opportunities for design improvements. While performing value engineering, we identify any design and/or construction methods that improve the economics of the project and make appropriate recommendations to the project team.
