Pre-Construction Services in Miami & South Florida
The cheapest place to solve a construction problem is before construction starts.
Pre-construction turns design intent into a buildable scope, a realistic budget and a working sequence. We review the documents, identify missing information, coordinate trade input, study long-lead materials and organize approvals before the project begins consuming field time and owner money.

Our Process
How we work, step by step
- 01
Project Definition
We define what the project must accomplish, what information already exists and what still has to be resolved before reliable pricing is possible.
- 02
Document & Constructability Review
Plans and specifications are reviewed against existing conditions, trade interfaces and the sequence required to build the work.
- 03
Scope & Pricing
Trade scopes are written clearly enough that proposals can be compared on the same basis. Allowances, exclusions and missing decisions are shown instead of buried.
- 04
Value Engineering
Alternatives are studied for cost, lead time, maintenance and effect on the design. The objective is not simply to make the project cheaper; it is to spend money where it has the most value.
- 05
Approvals & Procurement
Permit strategy, association or landlord packages, long-lead materials and owner selections are mapped against the schedule before mobilization.
- 06
Construction Plan
The final pre-construction package becomes the working baseline for budget, procurement, trade sequence and the construction schedule.

Questions we get asked
When should pre-construction start?
As soon as the project has enough definition to evaluate scope and constraints, and before major purchases or construction commitments are made.
Can Lordes price a project before drawings are complete?
Yes, at a conceptual level. The estimate should clearly identify assumptions and allowances until the documents are complete enough for trade-level pricing.
Does pre-construction include permit coordination?
It includes planning the approval path, identifying required documents and coordinating the construction scope with the professionals and trades responsible for the applicable submissions.
What is the deliverable?
A clearer scope, a more defensible budget, a procurement plan and a working sequence that construction can actually follow.
