Pre-referendum
The primary areas of focus on a capital project during its earliest stages are schedule, cost, quality, and communication control. Delays are the biggest contributor to increased costs on construction projects, and successful projects begin with time control efforts at the very beginning, long before the project scope is fully defined.
On our K-12 school projects, C&S urges school districts to implement solid scheduling and cost control procedures during the beginning stages of their pre-referendum planning, well before rolling out their project plans to the public.
Services C&S offers during the early pre-referendum phase of our K-12 projects include
- Conceptual master schedule
- Cost estimating
- Value engineering studies
- Informational meetings with the public
- Project status reports to the board of education
