Pre-Construction Services

Henry Carlson Company Construction Services - Pre-Construction Services

The right start. The right team.

Developing a close working relationship between you, the design team and HCC construction managers as the beginning step of your project is vital to clearly establish expectations and goals. Our process will evaluate the aesthetic and functional as well as the cost and schedule implications of all design options being considered. Early in the design process, we work to help establish the cost of design options, identify important project components and collectively see their integration into the completed project. Our focus becomes one of systematic value analysis during design instead of after the project bids.

  • Value analysis – Identify equal/greater value at less/equal cost

"Many thanks to each of YOU, and others on the Confluence and Henry Carlson Company TEAMs, for your community vision, sincere kindness, and generous assistance, in bringing the arts alive with the installation of the city-owned sculpture, “Flower Dancing in the Wind”, in the newly renovated Paladino Hohm Sculpture Garden at the Washington Pavilion. The garden landscape renovations, increased public visibility and accessibility, along with the added sculptures, are marvelous. Indeed, the Paladino Sculpture Garden is a creative space that has become a destination place in Sioux Falls! "
