Pre-Construction Services   Our approach to preconstruction is a disciplined and systematic method of optimizing every aspect of construction: cost, design, schedule and methods. We identify each project's unique challenges and solve them in advance. Sometimes it's figuring out the fastest way to get from point A to point B. Other times it's inventing a way to build something that has never been done. No matter the size or complexity of the job, Hoffman's thorough preconstruction services make every project the best it can be.   Our preconstruction and estimating services are focused on providing Owners and Architects reliable costing information. This information guides the project team in achieving the design, cost and functional objectives for each project.   Our services include:   Estimating and Budgeting – Includes cost estimating, trending and cost control management. Preplanning and Scheduling – We provide early input on planning, sequencing and phasing of work. Alternative System Analysis – Evaluate and recommend alternative building materials, methods and systems. Virtual Design and Construction – 3D modeling used as an estimating, schedule sequencing and constructability tool. Scheduling – CPM scheduling of key preconstruction and construction phase milestones and activities. Sustainability – Integrate and recommend sustainable building practices, materials and systems. Constructability – Thorough review of drawings and specifications to identify quality control issues, constructability of design and system coordination. Long Lead Item Analysis – Identify and preorder long lead materials and equipment.
