Why the Pre-Construction Process helps everyone
Why the Pre-Construction Process Helps Everyone
No building project can begin before plans are drawn up, costed, and everyone
agrees to go ahead. But separating these tasks out often leads to disappointment for the future homeowner. We believe the traditional design-bid-build process is broken.
A designer or architect is a professional who can turn your ideas and dreams into an amazing
real plan. However they don’t actually build their designs – that’s not their field. So they don’t have the experience of knowing the ins-and-outs of how that design will need to come together, and they aren’t in touch with the intricacies and latest changes in building costs; whereas builders are. The end result is that often builders are brought plans by homeowners that will cost
significantly more to build than their budget. And so the project falls over.
The homeowner is disappointed and out-of-pocket, the designer/architect doesn’t get to see their amazing design built, and the builder not only feels bad for the homeowner, but has wasted a significant amount of time on a project that can never happen.
The solution to this problem is to bring the builder on board from the beginning as part of the team to guide the design process.
At J & S Contracting we don’t just start helping our clients when building begins. Instead, we
use a preliminary PAC process to work with them all through the design and pre-construction
stages before any work starts on site. This includes working collaboratively with them and their
chosen building designer/architect as the design is developed. We bring to the mix a builder’s
perspective on what is structurally possible, on practicalities that need to be considered, and on budget; as the designer or architect gets to focus more on the aesthetic and flow of the design. This collaboration helps develop successful plans as the vision of our clients and their designer is brought to life. Win-win-win.

The preliminary PAC process was amazing. I found the communication made the
journey much easier. The proposal was very easy for us to understand.
