At Bunn & Sons, we believe that a successful construction project starts long before the first nail is driven or the first wall goes up. It begins with smart, thorough planning—a phase known as pre-construction.
Whether you’re building your dream home or home remodeling, the pre-construction process sets the tone for everything that follows. Done right, it saves time, money, and headaches. Done poorly—or skipped entirely—it can lead to delays, costly changes, and unmet expectations.
What Is Pre-Construction Planning?
Pre-construction planning is the process of preparing the important details of a construction project before work officially begins on site. It’s when owners, designers, engineers, and contractors come together to clarify the vision, identify potential challenges, and create a plan to execute the project smoothly.
Think of it as laying the blueprint for success—not just for the building, but for the entire process.
What’s Included in Pre-Construction?
Here are some of the key components we focus on during pre-construction at Bunn & Sons:
Project Scope & Feasibility
We work closely with you to define your vision, clarify goals, and assess whether your project is realistic in terms of budget, site conditions, and timeframe.
Budgeting & Estimating
Our team develops a detailed cost estimate and ultimately a fixed price contract. We also look for opportunities to maximize value without sacrificing quality.
Scheduling
From start to finish, we map out a realistic timeline that accounts for permitting, procurement, and build phases—so you always know what to expect.
Design Collaboration
Depending on the needs to each indivdual project, we coordinate with architects, engineers, and designers to make sure the plans are solid, code-compliant, and construction-ready.
Permitting & Approvals
We submit your permit applicatation and get everything ready to go with the city and/or county.
Site Planning & Logistics
From material deliveries to equipment staging, we think through logistical details to avoid bottlenecks during construction.
Why Pre-Construction Matters
1. It Saves Time and Money
Planning upfront helps prevent costly surprises, change orders, and delays down the road.
2. It Builds Stronger Teams
When everyone is aligned before the build begins, communication improves and teamwork thrives throughout the project.
3. It Reduces Stress for Homeowners and Clients
With a clear roadmap, you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s coming next, and how the budget is tracking.
4. It Helps You Get the Project You Actually Want
By exploring your goals and expectations early, we make sure the final product matches your vision—without compromise.
5. It Leads to Better Results
Ultimately, a well-planned project is a successful project. And that’s our goal at Bunn & Sons, every single time.
