Want to Structure Your Preconstruction Planning So Nothing Is Overlooked? This Guide Can Help!

Complete pre-planning and scheduling are vital to a project’s success and profitability, but how do you ensure that it happens? MCAA’s Planning for Profitability: Your Guide to Successful Preconstruction Planning is here to help. The guide walks your team through 19 planning phases to ensure that nothing is overlooked. Using this guide, your team will:

• Achieve agreement on targeted profit.
• Create a well-thought-out, finalized, workable plan and schedule.
• Identify additional profit opportunities to be investigated and risks to be avoided.

The team will document construction and administrative activities, persons responsible for each activity, a time frame during which the activity will be performed, and deadline dates. This written plan then becomes an integral part of the project’s management, planning, and execution.
