RCS Construction Phasing Program For

Pre-Construction & Commercial Construction

Phase 1: Concept & Study

The concept and study phase transforms client ideas to potential projects. RCS Construction commercial contractors creates project specific parameters that develop a framework transforming ideas into a conceptual design that addresses client needs, project objectives and initiatives.

Phase 2: Basis of Design (BoD)

The BoD is the critical phase most often overlooked by clients. The BoD is a programming exercise that identifies an owner’s needs, financial goals and design objectives. This results in a Project schedule, scope of work and budget which become the foundation and parameters of the project.

The BoD document details the objectives of the owner with input from the project architect, engineers, and consultants in terms of design features, systems functionality, and overall performance resulting in a comprehensive analysis of objectives and feasible design.

The BoD also creates the framework for the detailed design, construction documents, and construction specifications. This effort streamlines the detailed design phase by identifying base information at a high level thereby allowing a more focused design phase.

Phase 3: Detailed Design

The detailed design expands upon an approved BoD providing additional design detail and specifications for procurement and construction. This phase provides schematic and subsequent detailed design documents to be used for final construction. RCS Commercial Construction licensed engineers and architects complete this final stage of the design process, creating detailed drawings for construction including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, architectural, civil, telecommunications and all associated disciplines that target details specific to the project.

Phase 4: Procurement

The procurement phase is the buyout process of the project utilizing pre-qualified vendors in a competitive environment. This procurement process focuses on decreasing project cost while maintaining a high quality end product.

RCS Construction managed bid process, utilizing Cost Benefit Analysis, can lead or assist in the acquisition of goods and/or services with a focus on the parameters established in the BOD. RCS Construction determines and identifies code related issues and works with all governing agencies to execute required permitting for the project.
