Here at Benchmark Houston Builders, we aren’t your average design build or construction management company– we’re guiding your commercial project from start to finish. Read on to learn more about all the ways we are involved in the process and can help make your build the best you’ve ever seen!
Land Searches
One of the preliminary stages we can help with when guiding your commercial project in the early stages is with land searches. When you go to purchase the land on which you wish to build, we can help by checking records. In doing so, we can verify the legal status of the property, checking who owns it and any possible issues that could come up in the build process. While you can’t foresee all possible problems, land searches can help us troubleshoot potential build issues by getting a better idea of possible restrictions of the land. This can empower you to move forward with your decision to buy that land, or it can cause you to switch gears and find a different piece of land that could have better build potential.
Facility Programming
Facility programming is another key part of guiding your commercial project. In this stage, we create a project brief to serve as a guiding light in the build process. The facility programming includes things like key design and engineering information, instructions, and inspiration so our designers and engineers have a clear understanding of your expectations for the end product. By collaborating with you, we can ensure the work we are planning will help you reach your goals once the build is up and running!
Preliminary Budgeting
Your commercial project has a goal to help advance your business in some way. While there are costs associated with a build of this nature, it is also important you stick to your budget in order for your company to maximize profit and succeed at the highest level. Before we have even started the design process, we assist with preliminary budgeting to give you an idea of what the project will cost.
Design and Estimating
Another way we help in guiding your commercial project is through design and estimating. We are a construction management company, but we also are a design build company, and this helps us create amazing build plans to help you dream up what your ideal commercial space could be. Our knowledge in construction management helps us know what is possible, and our expertise in design helps us turn what is possible into a beautiful final project. This design process comes with estimation as well, so we make sure you are very aware of what each design will cost you.
Cost Savings Analysis
After we’ve talked through the budget and estimated some costs, we go through a cost savings analysis as part of guiding your commercial project. Cost savings analysis have many benefits.We want to help you save money where you can! By going through a cost savings analysis, we can look at certain costs and help you decide which costs are worth the investment. On the flip side, the cost savings analysis could provide us with some elements of the proposed build that you ultimately decide aren’t necessary or can be reduced, thus saving you money.
Construction Coordination
As part of the construction coordination process, we help coordinate and manage the construction project for you. We know the best people for each job and can help coordinate your vision for your commercial build. This process is seamless because we’ve been working with you the whole time. While some companies give you design plans and then you have to figure out who to hire to bring them to life, we make sure the transition from design to build is cohesive.
Installation
Another unique way we continue guiding your commercial project is with installation. We help with design and we help with construction, but we don’t consider our job done once the build is complete. We want to make sure you are satisfied with the end product and can even assist in installation and move-in as needed.
