Preconstruction Execution Process

Before bidding a project, we carefully review the customer’s needs and expectations to ensure we can create an alignment with our teams’ capabilities. “Filtering and Targeting” is a critical step in our “Preconstruction Execution Process,” bringing the highest value possible to our customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.

Building Preconstruction Value

Every project goes through a step-by-step preconstruction process to secure work in a way that is beneficial to our customers and Lithko.

Once a project is secured, Lithko starts its planning and preparation to execute in the field through the “Project Execution Process.”
