Preconstruction Services
With early engagement of We Power subject matter experts and advanced value-added services, Preconstruction is a critical opportunity to set the stage for success. Focused on design, schedule and budget optimization, We Power drives value to your bottom line.
Through integrated constructability and value engineering reviews, our multi-disciplinary experts ensure quality design documents that secure best pricing from trades bidding on clear scopes with reduced risk of costly change orders due to redesign.
With target value design, clients, consultants, and PCL experts collaborate to determine the right cost solutions that maintain budget, schedule and the client's asset.
Target Value Design
Based on Lean principles, integrated teams gain collective insight into the client’s true value drivers and uses a set based design approach to evaluate design options against target values. In the end, the owner benefits from maximized value; the architect benefits from a more informed design; the GC benefits from greater cost/risk certainty; and the trades and sub-consultants benefit from early engagement and accountability for processes.
Building Systems Design Optimization
Building systems have a significant influence on facility functionality and efficiency, comprising a significant portion of the overall project capital cost with direct impact toward operational costs such as energy use, maintenance and lifecycle. Our building systems engineers and experts work to optimize system design and oversee M&E trades through procurement, installation and commissioning for maximum economic and operational efficiency.
Building Envelope Design Optimization
Optimal building envelope systems and materials maximize building performance and sustainability. PCL preconstruction teams have technical expertise to support design and construction, identifying material, constructability, and sequencing of building installation and offers solutions for achieving LEED credits and improved building performance and maintenance.
