When you’re planning a commercial development, organization is essential. When even just one detail slips, projects can go sideways, spelling costly time and losses.
How would it feel to approach a commercial build with risks confidently managed?
That’s the question we asked ourselves when we designed our 3-phase commercial build process. Over the past 20+ years, we’ve developed a fail-safe method that anticipates problems before they arise, and delivers you the best possible ROI.
Phase 1: Pre-Construction
The first phase starts long before boots hit the dirt. If construction is where the vision comes to life, pre-construction is where each DNA strand is carefully set. Pre-construction sets the foundation for the entire project, allowing time to plan costs, materials, constructability, and methods that meet your vision and budget.
Pre-construction is perhaps the most essential to our process at Aslan. This is where we uncover the best ways to reach your goals, while saving you money and time.
Here’s how we do it:
- Value engineering: We pore over your vision, budget, and site to recommend cost-saving alternatives that optimize ROI and avoid costly surprises down the road.
- Design consultations: Our extensive experience with the pricing markets allows us to guide designers and architects toward solutions that meet your aesthetic vision and budget.
- Client-architect liaison: During a phase of such crucial decision-making, communication is key. We serve as a reliable telephone between you and project stakeholders to facilitate confident, informed decisions.
With pre-construction, the project gets done faster, more smoothly, and with money back in your pocket.

Phase 2: Construction
With the strong foundation laid, building begins. During construction, we help secure contracts, permits, and AHJ requirements, and then execute the build with our highly-experienced construction team.
Here at Aslan, we utilize the Critical Path Method (CPM), meaning we sequence and execute tasks to optimize time efficiency. Then, we tailor the execution plan to the time of year, materials available, crew loads, and other factors to mitigate unforeseen issues.
In addition, we also handle:
- Project management: Our team runs a tight ship to keep schedules meticulously on track and budgets in check, while verifying quality all along the way.
- Skilled execution: We tap into our extensive network of skilled subcontractors, managers, and tradespeople that deliver the best of the best in their specialty.
- Transparent communication: During construction, we maintain the thorough communication you saw in pre-construction, taking care to provide statuses and any pivotal solutions that may be needed.
Even while many things are happening at once, you should feel well-informed during the construction phase.

Phase 3: Post-Construction
Like wax polish after a car wash, post-construction shines up your investment after the initial build to sustain optimum operation for years to come. Post-construction takes care of maintenance, troubleshooting, CapEx planning, and any ongoing support from our plumbing and roofing teams.
With Aslan, you’ll receive the same time and attention during post-construction as the previous two phases, because we value the life of your investment just as much as you do.
Our post-construction process covers:
- Final inspections: We conduct thorough walkthroughs of the final build to confirm quality, safety, compliance, and alignment with your vision.
- Project handover: We facilitate the changeover of documentation, warranties, and operational guides for a worry-free path to ownership.
- Ongoing support: We’re here for you, whatever you need—whether it be additional questions, issues, guidance through CapEx projects, or something else.
A successful post-construction phase should leave you with zero hesitancies and complete confidence to open your doors and serve generations of satisfied customers.
