Preconstruction Services

At Iron Horse Contractors, we believe the success of every project starts well before the first piece of equipment hits the ground. Our preconstruction services are designed to give developers and general contractors the critical insights needed to plan effectively, manage risk, and control costs from day one.

We offer comprehensive support throughout the planning phase, including budgeting, detailed estimating, constructability reviews, value engineering options, test digging, utility exploration, and potholing. Our team also conducts earthwork analysis and risk assessments to identify potential challenges early and provide practical, cost-effective solutions.

With deep knowledge of local municipality codes and specifications, we ensure your project is aligned with regulatory requirements and positioned for a smooth permitting and construction process.
