💡 Labor: we plan for contractors and site crews in advance
💡 Supplies: We have reliable manufacturing partners, so cost estimation is reliable

When should you "slow things down" during a project?

The preconstruction phase is an appropriate time for a slow and methodical approach—the result is actually efficiency.

We get it: once the heat of excitement wears off, clients may decide they want a completely different thing than initially discussed.

But uncertainty = ⬆️ increased cost ⬆️

Burge Construction implements provisions in the preconstruction contract to avoid unforeseen costs and delayed projects.
