Financing &
Pre-Construction

A specialist approach to financing & pre-construction

Before you lay the physical foundation for a new construction project, it is important to ensure that the project is adequately funded so it can be completed in a timely manner and within budget. The pre-construction phase, such as site and environmental assessments, blueprint drawings, contract reviews, and applying for permits, all come with a cost that can be covered by a pre-construction loan. Pre-construction loans can also free up your capital so you can focus on other projects to grow your business.

No matter the size of your contracting business or project, Risk Strategies takes a 360-degree view of your risk, brick by brick, including financing and pre-construction elements of a project. From early conceptual stages to last-minute details, we blanket your project with care, expertise, and a strategic purpose.
