Full-Time Preconstruction Professionals

Proactive and Practical Partnership

Many contractors view preconstruction as simply an estimating service and use scope gaps as opportunities for change orders. At VECA, we take a different approach. We begin by listening carefully to understand the end goals for each project and guide the electrical and technology systems design to achieve them. Our comprehensive document reviews focus on analyzing constructability, finding value opportunities, creating buildable cost estimates, and informing the schedule. In doing so we facilitate a seamless transition into construction.

Accurate Estimating for Cost Certainty

Creating confidence in projects costs as early as possible is critical to project success. With detailed cost breakdowns and consistent updates, we deliver accurate estimating results that help project teams realize a realistic budget. When working with third party estimators, we consistently reach target value budgets at the time of final contract. Our successful record of projects that exceed the Owner’s vision while meeting their budget proves the value of our collaborative approach.

The power of alternative delivery comes from early engagement that enhances creativity and performance, encourages a team approach and mutual trust, and reduces owner risk through earlier and more accurate information. This enables better planning and purchasing decisions. We are active participants throughout the design process, promptly communicating and evaluating options while seeking solutions alongside owners, designers, end users, and general contractors.
