Choosing Great Falls as your design-build company will streamline your project delivery. Our design-build contract saves you money and time as we work closely with well-established industry partners to provide a superior project while saving a multitude of costs that can occur when choosing other building methods.

PRECONSTRUCTION

Great Falls knows preconstruction is one of the most important phases of all building projects. Our preconstruction team provides a gathered assessment of the planning services completed before your construction project actually begins. In the preconstruction phase, Great Falls works with you to ensure a steady and expected transition from acquisition, leasing and planning to the commencement of building construction site.

Some of our preconstruction services include setting project timelines, budgeting, due diligence, site surveys, permit requirements and design services. Great Falls employs the best technologies and people to lower project costs while keeping your design and building goals at the forefront during the preconstruction phase.

PROJECT ESTIMATING

Our team at Great Falls Construction utilizes current industry techniques and tools to provide accurate and achievable project estimates. We estimate costs for all resources that will be charged to the project such as labor, materials, equipment and services. Other items including the price of previous projects that are similar, access to the site, availability of water, electricity, and contingency costs also factor into the final estimate of a project.

We have a proven track record of meeting project budgets, costs, and timelines due to the skill and accuracy of our estimating team. Successful and sound estimating results in consistent client satisfaction and measurable company growth, two things Great Falls Construction always aims to achieve when taking on a new project.
