Preconstruction and Design-Build
Front-end budgeting, scheduling, and permit coordination that sets scope before mobilization.
Preconstruction work sets scope, budget, and schedule before a project mobilizes. RC8 works from early drawings through a leveled subcontractor bid, so owners and architects know what a project costs and how long it takes before ground is broken.
