What Are Pre-Construction Services?

Pre-construction services for home remodeling is the planning and preparation phase before construction begins. It traditionally includes these items, but these are not set in stone and can be modified to better fit your needs:

  • Preliminary Design & Planning – Defining your needs, working through layouts, and creating initial design concepts.
  • Budget Development – Establishing a realistic budget for your project based on your goals and selections.
  • Trade Partner Coordination – Collaborating with architects, engineers, and other specialists to ensure all aspects of your project align.
  • Plan Development & Revisions – Refining plans and making updates as needed before finalizing.
  • Site Surveys & Preparing for Permitting – Understanding your property’s zoning, setbacks, and conditions to ensure your project is feasible.

Why Pre-Construction Costs Money

It’s important to understand that pre-construction services come with a cost. This work is essential for setting your project up for success, and industry professionals should be compensated for their expertise. Pre-construction fees are typically a percentage of the total anticipated construction cost, reflecting the time and effort required for planning, design, permitting, and coordination.

The budget developed during the pre-construction phase will be used to create your construction contract. This ensures that both you and the contractor are aligned on expectations and costs before any work begins.

Investing in these services upfront helps avoid costly changes during construction, saves time, and ensures a more accurate and reliable final budget.

A year before reaching out to us, the homeowners on this project had spent thousands of dollars with an architect on a full renovation and expansion of their home in The Nations, Nashville. The plan never made financial sense for them — this isn’t their forever home, and the equity wasn’t there to support a build at that scale. When they came to us, they were worried we’d come in with another oversized pitch they couldn’t afford.
