Phased Construction
Coordinated phased construction minimizing disruption to active operations.
Phased construction allows development to proceed in stages aligned with leasing, financing, or operational requirements. For industrial developers, phasing spreads capital investment and allows market feedback to inform later phases. For end users, phasing maintains operations in existing facilities while new construction proceeds.
Planning for phased development begins during initial design. Buildings must be designed for expansion: structural systems sized for additional loads, utilities stubbed for future connection, and construction joints located for seamless addition. This upfront planning makes future phases straightforward.
Occupied site construction requires additional planning and safety measures. We develop logistics plans that maintain access, separate construction activities from operations, and minimize disruption to your business. Communication with facility management ensures everyone understands the construction schedule and impacts.
Utility coordination becomes complex on phased projects. Power, water, and sewer systems must serve initial phases while allowing for future expansion. We work with utility providers to establish connections that accommodate full build-out without major future modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you plan for future phases during initial construction?
We work with architects and engineers to design buildings that accommodate expansion: structural frames sized for additional bays, stub walls that accept future connections, and utilities sized for full build-out. This planning adds minimal cost to initial construction but enables efficient future phases.
Can construction proceed while our operations continue?
Yes, with proper planning. We develop phasing plans that maintain operational access, separate construction from operations, and schedule disruptive activities during off hours when possible. Safety barriers and traffic control protect both workers and your employees.
How do you handle the construction of additions?
Building additions require careful connection to existing structures. We remove temporary walls, make structural connections, and tie into existing utilities. Sequencing minimizes time when the existing building is exposed to weather or construction activities.
What about permitting for phased projects?
Each phase typically requires separate permits. We manage the permitting process for each phase, ensuring compliance with any conditions from previous phases. Some jurisdictions require master development agreements that govern the entire project.
How does phasing affect construction cost?
Phasing typically increases total cost compared to building everything at once due to mobilization costs for each phase and the complexity of construction on occupied sites. However, phasing may reduce financial risk and allow development aligned with market demand.
