Pre-Construction & Design Management
Certainty starts before site. Surveys, buildability, phasing and cost established before anyone breaks ground.
Why it comes first
Most of what goes wrong on a refurbishment was decided before anyone arrived on site. Pre-construction is where Marcon takes that risk out: measured survey, condition and asbestos information, service isolations, buildability review, phasing against the client’s own operational calendar, and a cost plan that reflects all of it.
What we do at this stage
- Measured survey and existing-condition review.
- Buildability and value engineering while the design can still change cheaply.
- Phasing and decant planning around terms, clinics and trading hours.
- Service isolations, temporary works and containment strategy.
- Cost planning, programme and risk register.
- Design management and coordination of the wider consultant team.
Working with your design team
We are comfortable either leading the design or joining an existing team. Where a scheme is already developed we review it for buildability and programme, and we say plainly what we would change and why.

We’re always happy to have an early, confidential conversation about your project. The best outcomes on our projects were shaped before anyone was on site.
