Planning a new building construction project for either a commercial or residential build in Atlanta is an essential part of the process. In some cases, and often with large construction projects for commercial types of properties, careful planning is critical to keeping the costs on budget and the building completed on the required timeline.
There are several ways a commercial property owner or group of owners can organize the planning and construction aspects of the project. One is to hire a general contractor or project management team, and the other option is to use one of the contractors as a project management service.
A small number of new construction plumbing contractors in the Atlanta area can provide this dual service. Understanding what you need as the property owner can help determine if this is the right option for your new construction project.
Gaps in Expertise and Knowledge
Most commercial property investors and owners are not experts in construction. Working with new construction plumbing contractors as project managers accounts for this gap in knowledge. The plumbing contractors, providing full support in planning, design, material sourcing, and all aspects of the construction, act as a trusted resource.
Their experience in working on a large scale or specialized type of construction, including healthcare facilities, educational facilities, entertainment, and sports venues, and retail outlets, ensures the new construction plumbing contractors can manage all aspects of the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction process.
There are also some new construction plumbing contractors that can provide support with estimating for the project, ensuring the project meets LEED and sustainability requirements, or provide building information modeling (BIM) services. This is an ideal way to use technology to create a digital model of the project, identifying any areas of possible challenge in moving from design drawings to real-world construction.
