Widewaters has a long history and proven reputation for excellence as an owner's agent that delivers results on time and on budget. However, anyone who has any familiarity with this industry understands that construction is a complex process and it is foolish to think that nothing ever goes off-plan. In those very rare instances where something unplanned occurs that delays a project, Widewaters leadership and its team of experts respond with contingency plans and courses of action, vigorously executed, to get things back on track. For this very fact, project success or failure can almost always be traced back to the pre-constructions phase. The diligence, foresight, and effort put forth in this phase by the Widewaters professional services team is without peer in the industry.

These come together under a single program manager to work with the client's team. Deliverables during pre-construction consulting include:
• Site and Building Feasibility Analysis
• Preliminary Costing
• Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
• Costing
• Layout and Functionality

After pre-construction consulting and program “go-ahead,” the Widewaters team continues the design build process with the client, or can hand off the program to the client at this point for construction management and general contracting. The Widewaters design build process combines the results of pre-construction consulting and integrates their construction management. At this point, our engineers and architects work with their in-house construction counterparts to begin detailed planning for specific construction milestones and point projects, to support client's total construction program.

Widewaters makes extensive use of building information modeling (BIM) during the design build process. Widewaters' leading edge use of technology supports the building process with 3-D object-oriented modeling to facilitate design, construction and facilities management to include a detailed rendering of how the building will perform in real time.
