THB views Preconstruction Services as the most critical phase of our involvement. Hiring us before or at the same time as the architect enables the team to begin the process from the same point of understanding. Our goal during this phase is to understand the design intent and to provide contractor input as it relates to budgeting and scheduling. Some of the benefits of hiring THB during the preconstruction phase include:

• Thorough builder understanding of architect's design intent
• Identify possible obstacles to an expedited construction schedule
• Early release of long lead time materials and products
• Product evaluation & recommendations for use in the Rocky Mountain West and the specific site elements
• Accurate preliminary budgeting & cost estimation
• Rapid construction approval & permit expedition
• Key subcontracts let prior to completion of design

Once the project is moving beyond design and is in the permiting and construction phase, THB maintains an open relationship and holds frequent meetings to keep the owner informed of the progress. Some of the services during this phase include:

• Detailed monthly reports updating the owner and architect
• Comprehensive project accounting
• Aggressive change order control emphasizing retention of the value of the home
• Precisely maintained construction schedules to eliminate unnecessary delays
• All construction performed to the highest industry standards

This critical phase in construction is essential to ensure project success. THB performs a variety of services to ensure complete satisfaction. These services include:

• Complete owners & operations manuals for all systems
