Water damage is a problem that building owners and managers face. Droplets may appear to be harmless, but water causes damage in the process when it seeps into the cracks, for extended periods of time. Water can enter buildings via building materials (typically porous surfaces), cracks, poorly sealed splices, humidity, leaks, and damaged drainage systems. To find a solution, and avoid those issues from occurring in new structures, a preliminary estimate is a type of conceptual evaluation. It is the first attempt to determine how much the project will benefit. The S-BR pre-construction department has the expertise to enhance innovative designs and execute accurate budgets, to ensure that the new structures are constructed in a safe, effective manner.

Project scheduling and logistic planning is the detailed, specified outline, including the conceptual estimations and design assist/value engineering concepts. Primarily, an initial budget limit must be established before determining the project target cost. The project scope can be as specific as needed, detailing how long the construction will take and how it will be accomplished. The schedule must be validated by decision makers to establish the project timeframe and ensure that construction can begin on time. To complete the scope check and offer accurate information that concerns the new form, the S-BR pre-construction team will reflect the design team’s expectations.
