Preconstruction
Process Prevents Problems
Every decision you make during preconstruction impacts the school project’s cost, schedule, and quality during construction. As a construction manager, it’s our job to work hand-in-hand with you and the design team and help you make decisions in the best interest of the project.
STEP 1:
Ask the right questions
Preconstruction is the right time for questions when it comes to the school’s construction project. Finding clarity about the building you want, for the money you have, in the timeframe you need with the quality you expect is the best way to move your commercial construction project to completion. These answered questions help develop accurate estimates for an informed construction sequence complete with a site logistics plan you can have confidence in.
STEP 2:
Collaborate & Review
Sometimes to find the right answers, you need to ask the right people. We use input from you and your school’s users, from the design team, construction team, quality control team, safety team, and trade contractors. This collaborative approach ensures all scopes are examined and all details are understood. Collaboration eliminates cost surprises, accelerates construction, and maximizes your school construction project.
STEP 3:
Accurate Cost Estimates
Trust Jacobe Brothers Construction for highly detailed and reliable cost estimates. We make sure our estimates are thoroughly detailed because it’s easier to make any needed changes to a school or educational facility project during the early stages of design than to add them on during construction. True value engineering is more than simply “design and hack”; it’s research, evaluation, and constructability feedback. These are all essential before the first ground break.
Schedule Management
At Jacobe Brothers Construction, our dedication to collaboration and unwavering commitment to your vision establish the groundwork for a smooth and efficient construction process for your school or educational facility. We focus on preventing cost overruns and ensuring that your project progresses seamlessly, delivering results that meet your expectations and enhance your educational environment.
Quality Control
Constructing complex educational facilities involves the intricate commissioning of various systems, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety, and technology. At Jacobe Brothers Construction, we emphasize the importance of getting it right the first time. Our dedicated quality control team works tirelessly to ensure that all building systems are fully operational from day one. When you enter your new facility, you can trust that it will look, function, and perform precisely as designed.

Our approach to quality control is proactive and solution-oriented. We don't wait for issues to arise; instead, we identify potential problems early in the process and offer workable solutions to eliminate them. Our goal is to be involved from the outset of the construction management process to avoid issues altogether. During preconstruction, we develop a project-specific quality control plan, create checklists for every scope of work, and meticulously review each drawing for constructability and quality.
These upfront efforts significantly reduce the need for rework during construction, ultimately resulting in a better-quality building. At Jacobe Brothers Construction, we treat your projects as if they were our own. We are fully committed to doing it once and doing it right, so you get exactly what you want. You can rely on us to deliver a fully functional and high-quality facility right from the start.
