IntroductionPreconstruction costs start accruing before a foundation is laid, or even before a commitment to build is made. Before construction starts there's plenty of research to complete to properly estimate building costs, identify obstacles, finalize a design vision, research requirements, and so much more. The information acquired during this phase helps construction project managers assess risk and determine an appropriate schedule and budget. In addition, what is learned during this phase helps construction project managers create the most efficient and realistic plan to reach the end goal.
