Pre-construction contractor in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas

Pre-construction planning is one of the most important parts of our work. It is where the schedule, the coordination and the cost get settled, before the first truck pulls onto your site.

Chapter 01

Why pre-construction decides the schedule

Most of what goes wrong on a build was settled, or left unsettled, before the first truck arrived. Pre-construction is where the order of work gets decided: who is on site when, what has to be finished before the next trade can start, and which material has to be ordered early enough to be there on the day.

A schedule on paper only holds if the people behind it talk to each other. That is the coordination part, and it is mostly unglamorous: confirming dates, matching one crew's finish to the next crew's start, and telling you early when something has to move. Done well, a job in Fayetteville or anywhere else in Northwest Arkansas feels uneventful once it starts.

How Surfco plans a project

We schedule and coordinate in a timely manner with our clients, with one aim: the highest quality execution, and the value you deserve for what you are spending. Four things get our attention first, and they are laid out in the ledger below: the value of your project, scheduling, communication and cost.

Team Surfco has the skills and experience to give you timely and accurate information for your project, and we will go above and beyond to make sure you have the best results. That means answers you can plan around. If a date or a number is going to change, you hear it from us at the planning stage, while there is still room to do something about it.

Chapter 03

One project manager, from planning to the finished building

With Surfco you have an added asset: a team leader who is responsible for the project from start to finish, through pre-construction and through construction. The project manager who helped shape the plan is the one watching it get built, so nothing is lost in a handoff and nobody has to learn your job a second time halfway through.

That continuity is the value we add, and it is the reason we work this way. Planning and building sit under one roof, and under one Arkansas Commercial Contractor License, 0359010427. Call 479-287-6205 to talk through a project before it starts, while every option is still open.
