Pre-Construction
Construction projects are expensive.
Many things can go wrong—from cost and schedule overruns to problems with a building’s structural integrity—if a project is not properly vetted in advance. With Firmin’s pre-construction services, we apply our years of expertise and knowledge to judge a project’s viability across many different areas.
