At Shimizu North America, we offer a complete suite of preconstruction services that help clients set up their projects for success. From feasibility studies to planning to site selection, we minimize project risk and lay the groundwork for a smooth, efficient construction process.
One simple idea drives our approach: We are your advocate. We look at every project from your perspective and ensure that we address your expectations at every step. This commitment sets Shimizu apart from Day 1.
We recognize that many projects operate under tight timelines and high expectations. Our preconstruction teams are structured to deliver fast, accurate cost assessments— providing order-of-magnitude estimates within a week and detailed at-risk proposals within four weeks. This disciplined approach helps clients make informed decisions without compromising accuracy or control.
We dislike change orders as much as you do, so we go to great lengths to accurately estimate the project and account for the challenges that come with ambitious projects. Our process includes verifying and validating all teaming member costs, and minimizing or eliminating surprises later on.
Our talented in-house preconstruction and design teams can bring your vision to life, creating the architectural drawings and plans you need to move forward with confidence. And for international clients, we can draw on our global workforce to produce high-quality bridging documents in almost any language.
Shimizu North America has years of experience in many industries. This background, coupled with our EPC expertise, gives us a full view of your project lifecycle, from initial concept to construction completion to ongoing maintenance and future expansion—a rare perspective that allows us to produce exceptional deliverables at speed. Using a Front End Engineering and Design approach, our process engineering team seamlessly integrates the building design with your manufacturing process. Your project couldn’t be better prepared for success.
Partner with us to build a sustainable heritage for your business and community, combining a pro-business, pro-community approach with a two-hundred-year-old tradition of craftsmanship and a commitment to environmental and social sustainability that goes “Beyond Zero.”
