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.
