Outlining the pre-construction phase plan gives everyone a clear understanding of project goals and requirements. Seeing the bigger picture allows YellowRoc to provide accurate estimates and site reviews. 

From the very first day of pre-construction YellowRoc is able to bring the team's experience to the table, ensuring things commence with an excellent start before the construction phase project begins. By getting involved early YellowRoc can help to develop project goals related to scope, budget, and schedule.

YellowRoc excels in providing cost-effective pre-construction services to our clients. In doing so, we are able to provide many types of pre-construction estimates. The first type of a pre-construction estimate is a planning estimate, which is a rough approximation of cost prepared for information purposes only. The second is a budget estimate, which is an approximation based on preliminary cost information that is provided to us. The third type of pre-construction estimate is a firm estimate. A firm estimate is a figure based on cost data that allows us to enter into a binding contract. The final process in a pre-construction estimate is a not-to-exceed price. The not-to-exceed estimate is the maximum amount required to accomplish the job.

YellowRoc believes that pre-construction scheduling is the foundation of a successful project. It is YellowRoc's focus and attention at this phase that determines the success of a project. Pre-construction scheduling outlines the plan going forward, sets expectations for the project, and keeps everyone involved accountable.The YellowRoc pre-construction scheduling service assists in the development of the design, and assures the project is completed on time and within the budget. The development of an initial construction schedule is completed at this time and aids in establishing milestones for the project.

We want to make sure that what is being designed is reflected accurately in the plans. Here we take the opportunity to simplify and clarify details consistent with industry practices, so our bidders don’t fill their bids with high-priced contingencies. During this process, we review design documents for inaccuracies and oversights. We evaluate proposed materials, product deliveries, target areas of concern, provide alternative solutions, and make sure everyone is on the same page. We work continuously with all design professionals and subcontractors involved in the project to ensure that there are no surprises during construction that will impact the schedule or budget.

YellowRoc provides the service to autonomously develop 3D building information models based on existing, coordinated project documentation. This serves as a solid basis for carrying out simulations and analysis related to construct-ability issues, extracting resource quantities, cost & scheduling (4D/5D), and project management tasks. YellowRoc also provides the service to assist and train your architects and engineers to guide them along the path of BIM adoption in order to get the most out of today’s leading BIM design tools. Our engineers typically collaborate with project design teams on resolving detected design flaws in any discipline – architecture, construction or MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing).

The budget is always a consideration on every construction project and YellowRoc is committed to providing the best value for our clients. During value engineering, we determine if the scope of work correlates with the budget, and we then suggest areas for cost savings. Value engineering can be introduced at any point during a project; however it is most effective when utilised early in the pre-construction planning process.

The YellowRoc approach to construction services is to always maintain consistency and to exceed the expectations of our clients. 

YellowRoc promotes respect for others, as well as the facility or site we are in. We maintain an excellent staff of both administrative and field management personnel, as well as a diversified workforce of craftsman and tradesmen. The YellowRoc commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction has led to repeat business with our clients and has been the cornerstone of our growth.

YellowRoc provides a full range of construction services, from planning and design stages, through construction, punch list, and project closeout. By maintaining a highly skilled staff we are able to use proven management systems and procedures to monitor project progress and ensure owner satisfaction.

Cost control starts immediately upon contract execution and continues until the project closeout. YellowRoc believes that putting cost control procedures in place helps to ensure that project costs are not more than intended. Cost control procedures help YellowRoc avoid construction project cost overruns and scheduling lapses by making sure that the progress of our work matches our time estimates and forecasting of material, labour and overhead expenditures.

YellowRoc affords our clients a vast wealth of general contracting knowledge and experience. To accommodate our clients’ diverse needs, we perform a broad spectrum of general contracting services, offering our insight and ingenuity. The YellowRoc general contracting expertise allows us to consistently deliver on-time and on-budget projects, resulting in long-term client partnerships.

Through YellowRoc’s relationships with multiple specialist local and international suppliers, YellowRoc can draw on a range of techniques and systems specific to each project, whether it be the commercial, entertainment, or life science sectors. YellowRoc offers an extensive range of products, systems, and craftsmanship. Linked with an awareness of design redundancy and fit out life cycles, we provide a flexible approach to the efficient and cost-effective completion of the highest quality legacy projects.

Developing a schedule is a necessary start to every project but adhering to it ,throughout every project, is equally important. YellowRoc take schedule control very seriously and understand how important project schedules are to our clients. Our weekly project meetings ensure every project is on target to be completed as scheduled.

The YellowRoc management team has built an impressive network of quality driven subcontractors over the past thirty plus years. YellowRoc also takes the time to thoroughly screen new subcontractors. We believe that this minimises headaches throughout the construction process. All of our subcontractors are licensed and insured. We are on the job site every day, communicating with our subcontractors making sure that they have a clear understanding of their scope of work.

Following construction YellowRoc continues to serve our project owners in many ways to make sure that every aspect of the project meets their full expectations. 

YellowRoc's post-construction offerings serve as the bridge to our next project. 

YellowRoc develops a detailed schedule of project closeout activities, including punch lists, equipment testing, start-up procedures, and occupancy. Documents included in project closeout are typically a complete index of subcontractors and vendors used during the project and their contact information, accurate operation and maintenance manuals (O&Ms), keys, preventive maintenance, training manuals, and as-built drawings or BIM Archive Models.

To make sure all building systems continue to operate properly with minimum downtime or stress, YellowRoc coordinates training as needed for all staff members and conducts equipment demonstrations.

YellowRoc issues a warranty on all projects. At any point during the warranty period, our customers may simply contact us with any concern they may have so we can remedy the problem. Even after the warranty period ends, our door is always open in the unlikely event that an issue arises.

We follow up with our customers after we’ve handed over a project. Questions are always welcomed during or after construction is complete. 

The YellowRoc Themed Construction Group is here to help, always!
