ConCntric sets your team apart with owners
Preconstruction and Design Managers play a central role in translating evolving design, cost, and schedule into a unified project narrative. ConCntric enhances that role by giving them the tools to keep owners consistently informed, aligned, and confident.
Alignment owners can see and feel
ConCntric keeps design, cost, and schedule tied together, making it easier for owners to understand how every decision affects the project. Precon Managers can clarify impacts immediately, reducing uncertainty.
Fewer surprises, more predictability
With risks, assumptions, and issues tracked throughout the process, Precon Managers can anticipate challenges earlier — helping owners avoid downstream surprises and react proactively, not reactively.
Clear milestone progress
The ability to show progress across SD, DD, and Progress Sets gives owners a sense of momentum and control. They see what’s complete, what’s pending, and what still needs a decision.
Stronger guidance during design evolution
By connecting VE options, design decisions, and cost implications, Precon Managers help owners navigate tradeoffs with confidence — strengthening trust in the GC’s leadership.
Organized info, better decisions
Owners experience a more professional and cohesive project delivery when their GC can present decisions, assumptions, and next steps in a clear, unified format.
Owners feel guided, informed, and protected — elevating the Precon Manager’s role as a trusted partner in shaping project success.
