A project’s success begins with the planning phase. LEI offers innovative preconstruction services to its customers, including design build and design assist contracting. Constructability reviews and value engineering ensure customers receive full value for every dollar invested in their projects without compromising the integrity of the design, reducing the scope or function of the project, or increasing the cost of construction. Our experience in the industry and our relationships with local subcontractors, suppliers and vendors allow us to provide invaluable information on availability, lead times, costs and installation methods of materials and equipment. These factors contribute to the best possible selection of systems and products and the best possible contract delivery methods for every project.
During preconstruction we provide:
- Detailed cost budgeting from conceptual design through construction documents
- Cost analysis and ongoing trending with review for best value decision making
- Design capabilities
- Complete lighting design and photometrics at the schematic level
- Incorporation of LEED design elements and program implementation
