Frequently Asked Questions
-
- The preconstruction phase includes development of a strategic plan for the project, design creation, permitting and entitlement, and gathering of labor and resources required for construction.
- During preconstruction, GCs may proactively mitigate risk by developing a project recovery plan which identifies challenges which may occur during construction, as well as alternative pathways which prevent potential delays.
- In the UK and Great Britain, the preconstruction phase may also include development and delivery of pre-construction information (a safety document legally required for all projects under CDM regulation).
