When you are considering bringing new software into your current workflow, you need to ask yourself: Is this going to save me time and/or money? If the answer is yes, you’re on the right track.

As more and more companies are realizing, the preconstruction phase is the most important stage in any construction project. It impacts everything from timelines to budgets and the overall success of your project. The current traditional approaches to preconstruction have enormous inefficiencies created by dozens of manual workflows and disjointed communication among team members and stakeholders. This is where ConCntric provides the ultimate solution.

Considering the volatility of our current construction market, estimating costs during preconstruction can be a nightmare. Rapidly fluctuating prices can lead to significant financial losses for contractors who do not take the time to thoroughly compare and analyze costs. 

Preconstruction professionals have been utilizing a form of Target Value Design (TVD) for decades. They have the experience to know how to break down a project conceptually into major systems and what those systems generally cost on a cost/gross square foot basis or a proportion of the total budget. This provides a team with a concept baseline to test the proforma and guide the design team.
