Portland Preconstruction Process
Setting the Foundation for a Successful Remodel
At Lando Builders, we believe that every great remodel starts with a solid plan. Our Portland Preconstruction Process is designed to eliminate surprises, streamline permitting, and ensure your project stays on time and within budget.
Many homeowners jump into remodeling without a clear roadmap, leading to delays, unexpected costs, and frustration. That’s why we take a structured approach—so you can feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
What is Preconstruction?
Preconstruction is the critical planning phase before any physical work begins. It involves:
- Project Scoping – Defining your goals, needs, and vision
- Design & Engineering – Creating detailed plans, layouts, and structural assessments
-  Permitting & Compliance – Navigating Portland’s complex building codes and regulations
- Material Selection & Procurement – Avoiding supply chain delays by planning ahead
-  Budgeting & Timeline Planning – Ensuring cost accuracy and realistic scheduling
Skipping preconstruction often leads to costly mistakes, permitting issues, and rushed decisions. At Lando Builders, we handle it the right way from the start.
