Cost overruns are painful. Luckily, they’re not inevitable. In commercial construction, projects that introduce a general contractor during the planning stages have a significantly better chance of meeting both budget and design intent. Projects that skip this initial collaboration can face a few extra challenges. Left unchecked, they may distort the budget.  

Commercial construction has unique challenges. First you need to create a shared vision among architects, owners and builders. Then you’ve got to layer the work of multiple trades and make sure every project, no matter how complex, gets done on time and on budget.
