Frequently Asked Questions
What are pre-construction services?
Pre-construction services are the planning activities completed before building begins — feasibility, budgeting, value engineering, scheduling, and permitting support — that de-risk a project.
Why is pre-construction important?
Most cost and schedule problems originate in decisions made before construction. Strong pre-construction sets an accurate budget and a buildable schedule up front.
What is the difference between pre-development and pre-construction?
Pre-development focuses on feasibility, site, and entitlement questions; pre-construction focuses on budgeting, value engineering, and scheduling. Cornerstone handles both.
How much do pre-construction services cost in NJ?
Fees depend on project size and scope and are set transparently up front. The pre-construction investment typically pays for itself in avoided overruns.
