How We Build Preconstruction
The foundation of construction project success is established long before the shovel hits the dirt.
Building Great Things takes great execution in the field, but a collaborative and strategic approach with an experienced preconstruction team helps to eliminate surprises and provides on-budget and on-time delivery of a project. It takes a gameplan that lays out what will happen when and by whom. It takes collaboration. DPR’s dedicated preconstruction team offers preconstruction services that focus on making strategic decisions together early in the process, delivering the best value in the supply chain and eliminating surprises.
Defining The Construction Project Lifecycle
An effective preconstruction plan defines the entire lifecycle of a project and drives the success of numerous project elements, including prefabrication and self-perform work. That’s why we take this stage so seriously.
DPR’s preconstruction team members are passionate, trusted advocates who prioritize predictability through an aggressive, analytical approach. Our preconstruction plans and services provide a number of solutions, including:
Support That Goes Beyond the Norm
Our commercial preconstruction services go well beyond traditional open-book cost projections and value engineering to create more reliable schedules and estimates you can count on. DPR strives to break the mold of traditional cost reporting lagging behind the design.
With a strong network of suppliers and trade partners, we drive value for you. High standards for prequalification have built a pool of the best subcontractors to compete on every project. We also watch market trends so we can counsel on when to buy what and when.
We arm our customers with the right information to make the right design decisions at the right time.

The Model Of Partnership
Our preconstruction consultants engage with design teams often and early in the project lifecycle to ensure aligned expectations, integrating the design with the schedule and estimate.
Together, we leverage knowledge of past projects to predict how much a building will cost, establish data-based targets, and build a holistic pre-construction estimate.
Additionally, we leverage virtual design and construction early on in projects to provide cost and time evaluations more efficiently.
