Every Build Lives or Dies by the Plan

That’s Why Developers Bring in McLenco Before the Ground Breaks

From Budget Forecasting to City Submissions: We Build the Roadmap

A build doesn’t fail at inspection. It failed six months earlier when the wrong plan was set in motion. That’s why at McLenco Construction:

We’ve secured permits long before the build starts.
Our consultation team plans before the action begins.
We strategize before laying a hand on a brick.

From city coordination and zoning insights to value engineering and critical path planning, build the roadmap most GCs only pretend they have.
You want fewer surprises? Start with a better plan.

Our Framework — Built to Save Time and Budget

Preconstruction is where we set you up for success. The process starts with feasibility analysis and extends through value engineering.
Our framework is designed to keep your project on time, on budget, and free from surprises. Here’s how we do it:

Feasibility Analysis: Identifying Roadblocks Before They Become Problems

No one likes discovering issues after the project begins. Our feasibility analysis flags roadblocks early—before they become problems. We ensure that what you’re planning becomes possible before it hits the ground.

Budget Development + Cost Modeling: Realistic Pricing, Transparent Estimates

We don’t treat your budget as a number to be filled or exceeded. Our consultation team creates a cost modeling plan that ensures:

  • Your financial expectations align with actual market conditions.

  • Labor and materials are priced and tracked accurately.

  • Zero hidden costs.

Scheduling & Phasing Strategy: The Secret to Keeping Your Project on Track

Time is money, and we make sure yours isn’t wasted. Our scheduling and phasing strategy ensures no trades overlap and every milestone is met on time. We reverse-engineer the timeline and coordinate each phase to hit perfection within deadlines.

Permit Sequencing & City Coordination: Cutting Through Bureaucratic Red Tape

Navigating city permits and approvals is a major headache, for average general contractors. With us, it’s a piece of cake. We understand permit sequencing and work directly with city departments to ensure efficient handling. Our proactive approach speeds up approvals and prevents setbacks.

Value Engineering: Maximizing Quality Without Compromising Your Budget

In construction, quality is non-negotiable—but cost can be optimized. Our value engineering process identifies cost-saving opportunities without sacrificing your project's quality or scope. We deliver practical solutions that preserve your vision while keeping spending in check.

We Speak Design, Engineering, and Execution

So Nothing Gets Lost in Translation

Most construction delays stem from misalignment at the planning table. All because architects, engineers, and contractors aren’t speaking the same language. But not on our watch. With Mclenco Construction, we connect design intent with jobsite execution. So what’s drawn is what’s built—and what’s built is built right.

We Translate Design Into Field-Ready Build Plans:
Without Losing the Intent

A beautiful set of drawings doesn’t guarantee a buildable outcome. We bridge the gap by catching missing details, sequencing problems, and real-world conflicts early. Our team walks the plans like the project is already under construction.

We Align Architects, Engineers, and Stakeholders Early:
So Everyone’s on the Same Page

Why wait for tension to boil during RFIs or site visits? We clarify roles and responsibilities during preconstruction. Every detail gets reviewed. Every handoff gets clarified.

Your Build Deserves More Than a
Last-Minute Plan

By the time most general contractors get involved, it’s already too late to fix the real issues. That’s what makes us different. We help shape the project from the start—so what gets built actually works. That’s how you stay on schedule, protect your budget, and walk into the final inspection with zero guesswork. Tired of patchwork planning, reactive teams, and blown budgets disguised as “adjustments” Send over the drawings, we’ll show you what’s missing.

 FAQs

  • Most general contractors treat preconstruction like a checklist: scope review, basic pricing, done. At Mclenco, consulting is a discipline. We analyze your project like we’re investing in it—with deeper feasibility, tighter phasing, and meaningful input on what works when boots hit the ground.

  • We manage complexity through alignment. If your project involves owners, architects, engineers, end-users, and investors, we create a central communication protocol that maps accountability early.

  • Not at all. Even if your drawings are complete, we can still review them for constructability, streamline your permit path, and sequence trades around your delivery dates. We’ll flag risk areas and tighten the roadmap—so your field execution doesn’t become a guessing game.
