Feasibility review, preliminary budgeting, constructability, scheduling and procurement planning to prepare your commercial project before construction begins.
Strategic Pre-Construction Planning for Commercial Projects
Brady Construction Group provides pre-construction services for commercial owners, tenants and design teams. We help turn early project ideas into a clearer scope, estimate basis and list of decisions before field work begins.
The planning scope can include existing-condition review, preliminary estimating, constructability, phasing, procurement and design coordination. Agree the information to be reviewed and the deliverables needed for the next decision; a preliminary budget should identify its assumptions, allowances and exclusions.
Share the property address, intended use, available drawings and business priorities. If design and construction need one coordinated delivery approach, explore design-build. If the construction documents are ready for pricing, discuss general contracting.

A COMPLETE PRE-CONSTRUCTION PARTNER
Brady Construction Group provides a complete approach to pre-construction, helping clients move from early planning to construction with a clear and organized process.
Commercial projects often involve multiple moving parts, including budgeting, design coordination, engineering, permitting, landlord requirements, city approvals, subcontractor input, material lead times, and construction scheduling. Our team helps manage these details early so the project is better aligned with your budget, timeline, and operational needs.
Whether you are preparing for a tenant improvement, commercial renovation, facility upgrade, or larger construction project, we provide the planning, construction insight, and project oversight needed to move forward with confidence.
A STREAMLINED APPROACH TO PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Our pre-construction process is designed to help clients make informed decisions, reduce risk, and prepare projects for efficient execution.
Establish business goals, scope priorities, known constraints and the decisions the owner needs to make.
Review available drawings, site conditions, access and questions requiring investigation or specialist input.
Develop preliminary estimates and alternatives, with assumptions, allowances and exclusions made clear.
Review constructability, permit dependencies, long-lead items and the sequence of design and procurement decisions.
Record the remaining scope decisions, required approvals and next steps before a construction commitment.

Pre-construction questions
What does pre-construction include?
The agreed scope can include site review, feasibility questions, preliminary budgeting, scheduling, constructability review and coordination with the design team. Deliverables are defined for the individual project.
Can I start before the design is complete?
Yes. Share the intended use, address, available drawings and your main questions. Unknown timing, size or design details can be identified during the initial discussion.
Is a preliminary budget a fixed construction price?
No. An early estimate depends on the information available and its stated assumptions, allowances and exclusions. Pricing commitments require a defined scope and an agreed written proposal.
How are permits and approvals addressed?
We identify likely agency, landlord and design dependencies with the project team. The authority having jurisdiction determines required permits and approvals; planning does not guarantee approval or a review schedule.
How does planning connect to construction?
Pre-construction organizes the information and decisions needed to proceed. Once scope, responsibilities and approvals are established, the construction phase is agreed separately.
Who should be involved in the planning process?
Owners, tenants, property managers, designers and other affected stakeholders should identify who can approve scope, budget, building access and operational changes.
