The pre-construction phase of a project is the time when careful tracking of schedule, scope and cost is required to remain on time and stay within budget. The time to establish a schedule and baseline budget is at the very beginning of the process; then, as design develops, it can be measured against the original schedule and budget. This allows for real- time adjustments in design and scope to stay within budget or informed decisions to make budget adjustments. Controlling the procurement of construction services and managing the project during construction are equally as important to the success of a project. The following list highlights the services and controls that are available to achieve those goals.
