Pre-Construction Services

Laying the Groundwork for Success

At FMG Construction Development, we know that the success of any construction project relies heavily on the planning and preparation that occurs before the first shovel hits the ground. Our comprehensive pre-construction services ensure that every project begins with a clear vision, effective planning, and a strategy to minimize risks, control costs, and deliver timely results. Our team of experienced professionals works hand in hand with clients to ensure the project meets their goals and is completed on time and within budget.

Through careful planning, expert site selection, and a solid foundation of feasibility studies, permitting, and budgeting, we guide each project seamlessly through the early stages to ensure it’s ready for a successful build.

1. Project Planning & Feasibility Studies

Project Planning & Feasibility Studies are vital to determining whether your project is feasible and sustainable. At FMG Construction Development, we ensure that we assess all key aspects, scope, budget, and timeline, right from the beginning. By carefully evaluating the financial viability, potential risks, and logistical challenges, we minimize the chances of encountering surprises during the construction process.

Our planning and feasibility study process includes:

  • Budget Assessments: Our detailed budget projections are designed to reflect the true cost of construction, factoring in everything from labor and materials to contingencies for unforeseen circumstances.

  • Risk Identification: We highlight any risks—such as environmental challenges or logistical hurdles, and create strategies to mitigate them.

  • Site Analysis: Our team evaluates the site’s suitability for your specific needs, considering the location’s infrastructure, accessibility, and environmental factors.

2. Site Selection & Analysis

Choosing the right location for your project is paramount. With Site Selection & Analysis, FMG Construction Development ensures that every potential site is thoroughly evaluated for factors like zoning laws, environmental impact, and accessibility. We help you select the best site that not only meets your project’s needs but also supports its long-term success.

Key considerations in site selection include:

  • Zoning & Land Use Compliance: We navigate zoning laws and ensure that the site’s land use aligns with your project requirements.

  • Environmental Impact Studies: We assess environmental factors to ensure that your project complies with all regulations and does not negatively impact its surroundings.

  • Logistics & Accessibility: We evaluate the site’s accessibility for construction crews and materials, ensuring smooth project execution.

3. Permitting & Regulatory Compliance

Navigating the complex landscape of Permitting & Regulatory Compliance can be daunting. Our experts handle all the necessary permits and approvals, ensuring your project complies with local, state, and federal regulations. We take care of zoning, environmental, and building code compliance, so your project can move forward without costly delays.

Our permitting services include:

  • Zoning & Land Use Permits: We ensure your project is compliant with zoning laws and land use regulations.

  • Environmental Permits: We address environmental concerns and secure the necessary environmental compliance for your project.

  • Building Code Compliance: Our team makes sure that the construction process adheres to local building codes and safety standards.

4. Value Engineering

Value engineering is an essential service for projects aiming to reduce costs without sacrificing quality. By identifying cost-effective alternatives and optimizing design elements, we ensure that you get the best value for your investment.

Our value engineering services include:

  • Material & Design Alternatives: We assess and recommend alternative materials or construction methods that reduce costs without compromising quality.

  • Process Optimization: We streamline construction methods and eliminate inefficiencies, helping to save both time and money.

Our goal is to deliver a project that maximizes value, minimizes waste, and meets all quality and safety standards.

5. Budgeting & Cost Estimation

Accurate budgeting & cost estimation is critical to keeping a project on track. Our detailed cost projections ensure that you are fully prepared for the financial demands of construction. With our comprehensive budget management, we help ensure the project stays on track without exceeding financial limits.

Key features of our cost estimation process include:

  • Preliminary Budget Estimates: We provide a rough estimate early in the planning process, helping to align your expectations with financial realities.

  • Detailed Cost Breakdown: Once the project scope is defined, we offer a precise cost breakdown, including materials, labor, equipment, permits, and more.

  • Contingency Planning: We include a contingency fund to address unexpected changes or challenges that may arise during the project.
