Pre-construction planning is a critical phase in any restaurant construction project. Taking the time to assess existing conditions, undergo feasibility studies and identify job-specific requirements prior to construction may be the single best way to control costs, manage timelines and ensure a successful build. But if you want to level up even further, you should consider having an experienced construction consultant on board to help during this critical phase.

Why Call in a Consultant During Pre-Construction

Pre-construction sets the stage for a successful project. It involves thorough analysis, meticulous preparation and strategic decision-making – all before any dirt is dug or hammer swung. So many decisions need to be made at this time, and those decisions will have a lingering effect on your entire buildout. You absolutely need a professional to guide you through your options and opportunities during this planning phase.

A construction consultant is uniquely qualified to jump in and help. Some project owners hire a construction consultant for just a single phase in the construction process, such as to assess the build feasibility of a design. Others hire them to serve as an owner’s representative to guide them through their entire restaurant project.

The Role of a Construction Consultant During Pre-Construction

 The nature of construction consulting is that the consultant can be involved in just one phase of the project or many. It depends on the nature and complexity of the build as well as the owner’s needs and preferences. When we join as  pre-construction consultants on a restaurant buildout, here are some ways we contribute:

• Conduct a thorough assessment of existing conditions
• Identify all existing and required utilities for the space
• Assess if job-specific requirements can be met in a particular space
• Identify if the layout the owner wants is feasible or not
• Make recommendations to minimize costs and make the process more efficient
