Getting involved early in the project as it is being developed is one of the best things a contractor can do for profitable growth. -------------- “If you are really in the game you’ve got to understand what’s happening in governments and markets and see a deal before they put it out to bid. If the first time I hear about a big project is when the proposal is on the street then I don’t have a good win plan.” - Riley P. Bechtel; Chairman of Bechtel Corp (https://dbmgt.co/2INDaX6) -------------- For a contractor to get involved early at the programming and schematic phases they need to add value to the process. https://dbmgt.co/2RD1dAT That value starts with understanding the entire budget for developing a project. 1. Have great conceptual estimating (https://dbmgt.co/2CFZ7pD) skills that help all parties see a more complete 5D Model (https://dbmgt.co/2ugLJaM) of the project early. 2. Have strong operational and value-engineering skills to keep the cost of construction down while still providing value. 3. Bonus - having connections that help with other aspects of the development budget.
