We work with clients, architects, and general contractors early in the project to align design intent, budget, and constructibility. Our pre-construction services are focused on identifying opportunities and resolving challenges before they reach fabrication or site.
Early Collaboration & Customized Systems
We engage during the design phase to review glazing strategies, system selection, and project requirements. Each project is approached as a unique set of conditions—not a standard solution—allowing us to tailor systems to suit the specific goals, constraints, and performance needs of the building.
Budgeting & Cost Planning
Our team provides clear, staged pricing, from early budget estimates through to detailed tender submissions. As designs evolve, we update costs to reflect real-time conditions, helping teams make informed decisions without late-stage surprises.
Optimization & Efficiency
We support value engineering and system refinement, balancing performance, durability, and cost. With direct insight into fabrication and installation, we can recommend practical adjustments that maintain design intent while improving efficiency.
Constructability & Coordination
We review drawings and specifications with a focus on how systems will be built and installed. This includes identifying potential conflicts, sequencing considerations, and integration with adjacent envelope systems—resolving issues early, when they are easier and less costly to address.
Local Insight
Our experience working across British Columbia informs how we approach detailing, performance requirements, and scheduling. Climate, seismic considerations, and local construction conditions are factored in from the outset.
By engaging early and staying involved through design development, we help create projects that are well-coordinated, cost-aware, and ready to move smoothly into fabrication and installation.
