Our Team Takes Pride in Guiding Our Clients Through the Pre-Construction Process
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
At W. M. Lyles Co., pre-construction is where successful projects begin. Our approach goes beyond estimating—we immerse ourselves in understanding each project’s unique goals, constraints, and opportunities from day one. Through collaborative planning, constructability reviews, value engineering, and early risk identification, we help owners and design teams make informed decisions that drive efficiency and reduce surprises later. Whether it’s navigating regulatory requirements, developing phasing strategies, or identifying long-lead materials, our pre-construction services are designed to establish clarity, control, and confidence before a shovel hits the ground.
How We Deliver Value
What distinguishes our pre-construction service is the depth of expertise we bring to the table. With decades of real-world experience in complex water, wastewater, and civil infrastructure projects, our team understands how design choices impact construction and cost. Our in-house estimators, schedulers, and engineers work seamlessly with clients to develop accurate budgets, realistic timelines, and optimized scopes of work. By engaging early, we lay the foundation for a smooth construction process and ultimately a successful project outcome. At W. M. Lyles Co., pre-construction isn’t a phase—it’s a commitment to building certainty from the start.
