An outline of Maple's comprehensive pre-construction services

Written by Amy Bradbury | 01/09/24 08:00

Our team of experts work to optimise design and project delivery from the earliest stages.

Pre-construction plays a vital role in the success of any project, helping clients make informed decisions and avoid potential roadblocks later on. One of the factors of our success lies in our design coordination and technical workshops, which are held in regular meetings with architects and contractors. These workshops ensure that the project-specific designs are buildable and in line with the client’s vision.

Maple’s pre-construction support is an end-to-end service, providing continuous assistance from cradle to grave. We have a team of highly skilled professionals comprising designers, project consultants, HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality) advisors, and project leaders who are ready to offer their expertise and guidance at every stage.
 

a holistic approach to project success

Maple’s pre-con process begins with an initial enquiry. From there, our project consultants work closely with clients to select the best product that aligns with the project’s design intent. Once the product is specified, our team creates a project-specific design, which is shared with the client through comprehensive PDF documents, DWG files, and 3D models. This allows the client to fully understand what the final outcome will look like.

During project meetings, we walk clients through the bid and review all considerations made. This collaborative process not only fosters transparency but the detailed approach enables us to provide highly accurate cost estimates, avoiding any surprise costs by accounting for all aspects of the project from the beginning.

This is also guaranteed by employing advanced testing methods, such as simulations and finite element analysis (FEA), we ensure the designs are structurally sound and meet the required specifications.

 visualisation through mock-ups and samples

To further ensure the feasibility of designs, Maple offers both 2D and 3D mock-ups. This is particularly helpful for more complex and bespoke projects, such as those involving intricate perforated panel options. These mock-ups allow clients to see exactly how the design will work in real-life conditions.
 
In addition to digital mock-ups, we also provide visual and physical samples. These mock-ups not only help in visualising the project but also offer a tangible preview of the end result, allowing for any necessary adjustments before construction begins.
  
 
Ultimately, Maple’s pre-construction service is not just about creating designs, its an essential tool for minimising risk, optimising costs, and ensuring successful project outcomes. Through the expertise of our team and our passion for providing excellence, we provide a seamless process that delivers precise, high-quality designs tailored to meet each project’s unique needs.
