After taking possession of a new piece of land, there are a number of steps before construction crews can roll in. Preconstruction involves many stakeholders working together to create a clear picture of the project, arrange permits, coordinate schedules, and lock-in resources.

The work is spread across attorneys, architects, project managements, construction vendors, material providers, and government officials. In the end, each item is required to begin construction.
