Pearson Construction: Pre-Construction Services

An important part of every project is design and planning. Pearson’s pre-construction services offer the necessary pre-project planning, cost and schedule development, constructability reviews, and value engineering prior to the start of a construction project. These services can be provided individually or bundled in a group. Proper pre-construction services can mean fewer changes during the construction phase – which keeps your project on schedule and budget. Sit down with our industry experts and let us take the guess work out of the scope, pricing, and timeline for your construction project.
