State of Global Preconstruction Report Released
FMI Corporation, the leading provider of consulting and investment banking services to the built environment, in partnership with Procore Technologies, Inc. (Procore), today released The State of Global Preconstruction report. The report discusses the current environment for preconstruction and the characteristics of organizations that do it well, including what constitutes above-average preconstruction processes and the effects of efficient and digitized preconstruction.
FMI and Procore surveyed 979 construction industry stakeholders worldwide. Participants were asked to describe their organizations’ preconstruction practices, tools and technologies, project experiences and outcomes.
Key findings include:
- Organizations with effective preconstruction report 40% higher client satisfaction.
- Organizations with above-average preconstruction processes are 52% more likely to report higher profitability than below-average organizations.
- Although 77% of general contractor respondents report having a formal preconstruction process, almost half (49%) of project owner respondents believe that general contractors they work with aren’t using a well-defined preconstruction process.
- Fewer than one-in-five respondents are conducting above-average preconstruction, based on FMI’s five key preconstruction factors.
FMI’s authors conclude: “Investing in preconstruction can provide real returns. When these [above-average functions] work collaboratively, preconstruction offers one of the best ways to lessen project risk and creates more predictable and beneficial outcomes.”
