Pre-Construction
De-risk the project before work starts. We define the scope baseline, clarify assumptions and information requirements, build a credible budget and programme, and set a procurement strategy that suits your delivery route.
This is where you prevent cost surprises, programme drift and procurement mistakes.

Common early-stage questions.
Do you work only in Essex?
Yes — Essex and surrounding areas only.
Can you help if we don’t have full drawings yet?
Yes. We’ll define the next information required and set a plan to reach a reliable budget and tender-ready scope.
Will pre-con help reduce variations?
Yes. The clearer the scope and assumptions before procurement, the fewer surprises and disputes during delivery.
What do you need to start?
Location, a brief scope summary, any drawings/sketches, budget expectations, and target dates/constraints.
