Detailed planning, permitting, design development, and cost estimation. We finalize all logistics before breaking ground so there are no surprises.
Preconstruction is where most franchise buildouts go wrong — and where Olive Tree Builds earns its reputation. We invest significant time and expertise in this phase so that the construction phase runs smoothly, on schedule, and on budget.
We work with your architect and engineers to review drawings for constructability, code compliance, and cost efficiency. We identify value engineering opportunities — ways to achieve the same result at lower cost — without compromising your brand standards or build quality.
Permit timelines are one of the most common causes of delayed openings. We manage the full permit application process, coordinate with the municipality, and track approvals proactively. We know which jurisdictions move fast and which require extra lead time, and we build that into your schedule from day one.
Our preconstruction estimates are built from real subcontractor quotes, not rule-of-thumb numbers. We go to market early for long-lead items — custom millwork, HVAC equipment, specialty lighting — so we know exactly what things cost before we commit to a price.
We build a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule that works backward from your opening date. Every milestone, every inspection, every long-lead procurement item is mapped. You will know exactly what needs to happen each week to hit your grand opening.
A fully costed project budget, a detailed construction schedule, a permit application in progress, and the confidence that your project is set up to succeed.
