Consulting, Estimating and Pre-construction services: With 28 years experience in construction, Delbert heads up the project consulting and Pre-construction services. In an intense pre-bid period, typically measured in weeks, there is a construction bidding process where Delbert prepares the estimate and forms the bid based on the construction documents. Pre-construction services grew out of construction cost estimating to encompass the other activities in planning a project. In addition to estimating, he participates in design decisions, evaluation studies, value analysis, constructability reviews, and more. Although he would prefer to spend his time building hot rods and motorcycles, his creativity can be seen in his ability to think outside the box during the pre-bid phase, and it continues right into the finished product.
