As a highly experienced and prolific firm offering construction management in Oakland, CA, the team at KSD Group Inc. knows that a lot goes into the predesign phase of any development project. After all, this is the phase in which you will determine what the goals of a particular project will be, whether you have any constraints involving the property itself and generally how to best go about designing and then implementing the development.
With so much at stake, of course you are going to need a solid team helping you with predesign planning and construction management in Oakland, CA. That construction consultant should then take the time to speak with three core groups of people during the predesign phase: regulations experts, organizational representatives and you, the client. Here is a closer look at why and how we go about doing that.
Regulations experts
The predesign phase is your opportunity to ensure you are fully aware of any and all constraints you may have, so that you can plan the development accordingly. One of the biggest issues that plague many developments are various regulations, whether they are a matter of zoning, land use rules or obtaining building permits.
Fortunately, your construction consultant is here to help. We always take the time to consult experienced and highly respected regulations experts, to ensure that nothing is overlooked or misunderstood going into the design phase. Once you know what you can and cannot do, concrete planning becomes a lot easier.
Organization representatives
Another important factor to consider is the group of people who will actually be using the new development. For example, let’s say you are designing and building a new hospital. You will need to consult medical experts and professionals to learn about what design features are ideal for their needs. You might also want to conduct research into which design elements make sense for patients and help them feel at ease. Finally, you will want to be aware of the latest medical technology advancements, so that you might include them in your budget.
That is a lot of different information to obtain and keep track of. Fortunately, that is what your construction consultant is here to do. During the predesign phase, your construction consultant will work hard to find all the relevant information or advice, no matter what kind of development you are constructing.
The client
Once we are aware of the regulatory limits, as well as what the relevant organizational professionals think, we will turn our attention to you, the client. What are your hopes and goals with this development? Do luxury touches matter, or would you rather save money? Do you want the building constructed under strict sustainability standards? Are there certain materials or designs you especially like or dislike? Whatever you want and need, we will help figure out the best way to include it in your development.
