The foundation of 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 a great 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 focuses on making strategic decisions together early in the process, delivering the best value in the supply chain and more to eliminate surprises.
An effective pre-construction 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 efforts provide a number of solutions, including:
Support That Goes
Beyond the Norm
Our 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
We 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 and establish data-based targets.
Additionally, we leverage virtual design and construction early on in projects to provide cost and time evaluations more efficiently.
