Planning/Pre-Construction
Naylor & Breen works with owners, engineers and others in the planning and pre-construction phase of projects to define the project and identify the most effective workflow and use of forces. This early collaboration to develop project scope, schedule and cost ensures maximum value of resources for the course of construction. Key issues that can be reviewed in this phase include:
• Site requirements and equipment selection
• Permitting constraints
• Scheduling options
• Evaluation of utilities
• Value engineering and cost saving options
• Project feasibility
Key team members will be engaged in this collaboration and will vary dependent upon the type of construction and particular challenges of the project.
"It’s been a pleasure working with Naylor and Breen on the $6,000,000 renovation/addition to the historic Bread Loaf Inn at Middlebury College. The College’s schedule dictates construction through the dead of winter and your company has done an excellent job of organizing a complicated project and maintaining progress on a tight schedule. Kevin Burke, the project superintendent, is easy to work with and a very competent guy. We appreciate that Naylor & Breen has the capability to self-perform the carpentry work and have found your field staff to be friendly and capable. We also appreciate the fairness shown in handling the inevitable changes in the work. Tanner Romano, project manager, and John Eugair, project engineer, have handled the submittals and paperwork in a timely and friendly way. All in all, you’ve done an excellent job to date and we look forward to our next project together."
