PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Catch Problems Before the First Shovel Hits the Ground

Most construction problems are baked in before work begins — in the contract, the budget, or the design. ObraClara's pre-construction review gives you a clear-eyed assessment of what you're signing up for.

The Mistakes That Cost the Most Are Made Before Day One

By the time construction starts, the major cost and schedule risks are already locked in. A pre-construction review is the only time you can change them without paying for it twice.

80%
of construction cost overruns are traceable to errors or omissions in the original contract or budget.
more expensive to fix a design error during construction than before it starts.
60%
of project disputes involve contract ambiguity that could have been identified at signing.
1 in 2
investors sign construction contracts without independent review of the scope or budget.
The best time to find a problem in a construction project is before the project starts. The second best time is right now.
