20% of a construction project's budget is often consumed by reworks. Do you agree with this? Many industry professionals accept this figure, citing that their processes have worked for the past 10 to 20 years. They argue, "If it isn't broken, why fix it?" However, there are so many arguments against this, I don't even know where to start. Efficiency in your project and the processes that are implemented, directly impacts your profit margins. So, why do so many construction companies continue to accept these avoidable losses? I would genuinely love to know the rationale for this?

Confidence and precision in construction costs are non-negotiable. In our opinion, too many in the industry settle for “estimates” that leave room for error, miscommunication, and unexpected costs. At Precon Consult, we don’t just provide estimates—we deliver confidence. Our clients know that our numbers are built on precision, market expertise, and a deep understanding of their project’s unique needs. Because in construction, accuracy isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation for trust, successful projects, and long-term partnerships. What do you think? Are you relying on estimates, or are you building with confidence?

This is a big problem in construction. Some clients think issuing unquantified bills to multiple contractors derisks the project and saves them money. The reverse is true. Multiple estimates cost the whole supply chain money, people need to be paid to do it, so the overheads go up in everyone’s costings. And going with the cheapest bidder who has likely made a ginormous cock up will result in a very aggressive variation pricing strategy post contract. Or they will go pop, and we all know it costs a fortune to get someone else to pick up the pieces. Be smart. Issue good quality quantified and specific documents with a fair balance of risk to 3 or 4 good contractors. You know it makes sense.

Strongly held belief: The future of construction is about value over price. And one of the best values you can provide? Being deeply relationship-oriented. When you prioritize relationships, you make your clients better by: - Reducing their costs to manage you - Giving them a resource for budgeting and design questions - Giving them peace of mind that you will deliver on site—no matter what While bidding and being competitive matters, your business is worth way more than the number at the bottom of your bid. Start demonstrating that you’re a relationship minded contractor and I promise it will be off.

There’s no free lunch in preconstruction. Here’s what owners often don’t see: Imagine you bid a $1M TI project to three GCs, involving 15 trades. The total industry-wide cost of estimating that project? Around $15,000 to $25,000. And where does that cost ultimately land? It’s baked into the overall construction cost—what you eventually pay for. Owners: Streamline your bid process and invest in quality design documents. It’s a surefire way to reduce the overall cost of construction. GCs: Boost the speed and accuracy of your bids. It’s a direct path to improving your bottom line. Smart precon benefits everyone. Let’s get it right.

Property Managers, Are You Planning Alongside With Your Contractor?... So when we get a project going, first is the planning phase—where you outline goals, budgets, and timelines. Then it's onto design, where you turn ideas into blueprints. After that, it's the Pre-construction phase, where you get permits, contracts, and logistics sorted. Construction is next, the actual building part. Finally, there's the post-construction phase, where you inspect, wrap up loose ends, and hand over the keys. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? Leaders in construction, do you find that following these phases helps streamline your projects and create successful outcomes, or do you prefer to approach things differently? #constructionprocesses #processandprocedure #ceomindset
