When beginning a construction project, you can find yourself overwhelmed. There are budgets, design, contractors, schedules, and more to take into consideration.

CLARIFY YOUR GOALS
No matter the size of your construction project, the first step should always be to develop and clarify the goals. Doing so establishes a clear direction. As you are planning and making decisions, it is important to keep these goals at the top of your mind.
Having defined goals helps to make decision-making easier as well as helps to keep to a budget.
In order to clearly define your goals, some questions you can ask are:
- What do you hope to accomplish with the project?
- How will the new space be used?
- Who will use this space?
- What value will this project add to your organization?
While being specific about your goals is important, it is important not to get too weighed down by the details. Rather, spend the effort working toward creating an overarching vision for the project. The specifics can come later.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TEAM
It is vital to partner with the right team on your construction project in order to stay on schedule and budget. Having the right partner is essential to overall success.
Some things you may want to ask when considering who to partner with are: Who should be involved internally and which construction partner is the right fit?
When it comes to the internal project team, you want to make sure you are engaging with the right people. The right people from your organization as stakeholders are invaluable to the success of any project. It is also important to not have too many people involved, as having too many people involved can complicate the decision-making process.
The external project team consists of building and design experts. Choosing this team depends on the scope of your project and can include a construction company, designer, architect, engineers, and other specialists and subcontractors. For most projects like this, planners start off with a construction team and/or an architect. The make-up of your team is dependent on the project scope and your goals.
When it comes to choosing the right company to partner with, it is important to look at relevant experience and track record. Choose partners that understand your vision for the project and share your values as a company.
BUDGET
One of the most stressful aspects of any construction project is budget. It is important to take an honest look at how much you can afford to spend on the project and determine what you’ll need to do to secure financial resources.
Once you know how much you can afford, communicate this to your project team. It’s their job to be clear about what you can do with the funds you have allotted. If you are partnering with a construction firm that understands your vision, they will work with you to make sure it can come to light and stay within budget.
