A strong pre-construction effort will lead to a project’s overall success. When creating a pre-construction plan, Etka Contracting Inc’ strategy is to identify options; assist the Owner with making informed, educated decisions; develop an efficient project management system to address everyday challenges; and achieve schedule, quality and cost goals – all while minimizing Owner risk. Successful pre-construction, like most other phases, is accomplished when there is frank, open communication between all parties involved in the project. This begins with the Owner, designers, engineers, and the construction manager/general contractor, but also includes the Owner’s staff and other building occupants, project subcontractors and consultants, oversight agencies, community boards, and the general public.
