Pre-Construction Services:
At Mason Hammer, we know that most homeowners are not familiar with construction process and the costs involved. We educate our clients throughout the process so they are well informed and know what to expect. We feel strongly that the sooner we are brought on board to join the Owner/Architect team, the more educated the owner will become in making critical decisions, before the final design is completed.
Mason Hammer offers all of our Pre-construction Services free of charge. We encourage Owners/Architects to meet with us to review their drawings even if they are still at the Schematic Design Phase. We will compile a basic construction estimate, plus assemble a detailed Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule, review this with the client, and offer our opinion on the details of the project.
After Schematic Design Phase:
- Review drawings and provide basic cost estimating data based on square foot unit pricing
- Offer estimating workshop session for owner to price different scenarios, value engineering suggestions, price per quality recommendations, brain storm dream home options
- Compile a CPM schedule to show Owner typical durations. Include Owner decision milestones such as: window order, cabinet shop drawings, plumbing valves, fireplace selection, flooring, etc.
- Review drawings for potential construction issues: size of kitchen, location and number of bathrooms, gravity systems, elevation consistency, acoustic considerations, etc.
After Design Development Phase:
