What steps ensure a construction project stays on budget and on schedule?

When this planning is thorough, construction proceeds with clarity of scope, limited change orders, and predictable progress.” - Drew SwainWINTER HAVEN, FL, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- What steps ensure a construction project stays on budget and on schedule? HelloNation Magazine features expert insights from Drew Swain of Southern Hospitality Real Estate & Construction in Winter Haven, Florida, on why pre-construction planning is the most influential phase of any building effort.

According to Swain, effective planning begins before the first shovel hits the ground. This foundational phase covers much more than reviewing drawings or estimating costs. It includes evaluating site conditions, permitting logistics, construction budgeting, trade coordination, and project sequencing. When conducted thoroughly, pre-construction planning establishes clarity, minimizes change orders, and helps avoid costly delays caused by incomplete specifications or late-stage design shifts.

Swain emphasizes that the planning process aligns multiple disciplines-architects, engineers, general contractors, and owners-so decisions about everything from mechanical systems to finish materials are made collaboratively. This coordination allows construction to proceed with a defined scope, predictable outcomes, and greater efficiency.

As detailed in Understanding the Importance of Pre-Construction Planning , the pre-construction phase offers the greatest flexibility, lowest cost, and most influence over final results. Swain encourages project owners to treat it not as a formality, but as the critical start to a successful build.
