"Quality People, Quality Projects, Quality Results”

Preconstruction


Skyline input is critical during a project’s design phase. Our dedication to client satisfaction begins with a team of professionals at the forefront of technology, information, and construction materials, means and methods. By evaluating proposed and alternate materials, building systems, and construction methods for cost, schedule, and performance, Skyline works with design professionals and clients to enhance quality and value while adhering to budgets. Our contributions during the preconstruction phase include:

Budgeting and Estimating
  • Extensive historical data of current unit costs and assemblies
  • A systematic approach to preconstruction estimating
  • Subcontractor input ensures accuracy of budgets and estimates
Schedule Analysis
  • Analysis based on company-wide best practices methodologies
  • Careful planning and refinement of construction and procurement activities until the schedule is an optimum representation of the as-planned approach
  • Constant performance measurements and monitoring services during construction process
  • Critical paths that are analyzed and honed for potential schedule compression
Value Engineering & Constructability
  • Advise the project team on selecting structural, building envelope, mechanical and electrical systems, finishes, and other key components to maximize value and minimize cost.
  • Provide alternative approaches with cost/benefit analysis to determine each alternate’s impact on cost, schedule, and quality
  • Significant long-term savings throughout the construction process
