Our Construction Process:
From Planning to Completion
When you hire a general contractor for a residential or multi-family construction project in Los Angeles, understanding each stage helps you make informed decisions and manage expectations. Murcia Group, Inc. guides clients through six key phases, from defining the initial vision and coordinating design to planning, procurement, construction monitoring, and final closeout. Our structured approach helps align project goals, budget, schedule, and construction requirements while providing support throughout the process.
01. Conceptual Design
What Happens During This Phase
Conceptual design establishes the vision, purpose, scope, and feasibility of a construction project. This stage involves reviewing the client’s goals, site conditions, preliminary budget, anticipated schedule, operational needs, and potential design approaches. These early discussions help identify opportunities, constraints, and key considerations that may influence the project’s direction before significant resources are committed.
How Murcia Group Assists
Murcia Group facilitates initial discussions, clarifies project priorities, assesses site opportunities and constraints, and helps develop preliminary concepts. We also help establish a realistic project roadmap that considers the client’s objectives, budget, and schedule, providing a practical foundation for informed decisions before design and construction move forward.
02. Schematic Design
What Happens During This Phase
Schematic design translates the preferred concept into an initial design that communicates the project’s layout, scale, organization, and overall character. Preliminary floor plans, spatial arrangements, building systems, material options, and visual studies illustrate how the proposed project may take shape. This stage allows clients to evaluate alternatives and assess how well the design supports their functional requirements, aesthetic preferences, budget, and schedule.
How Murcia Group Assists
Murcia Group coordinates the design team, evaluates design alternatives, and gathers feedback from the client and relevant stakeholders. We help align the developing plans with the project’s functional needs, aesthetic goals, budget, and anticipated schedule, supporting informed decisions before the design progresses into detailed technical development.
03. Design Development
What Happens During This Phase
Design development refines the approved schematic design into a coordinated and technically developed solution. Architectural details, structural requirements, mechanical systems, electrical systems, plumbing, civil engineering, and other relevant building systems are integrated to establish how the different components will work together. Materials, finishes, major equipment, and key construction details are also evaluated and selected to clarify technical requirements and identify potential coordination or constructability issues before construction begins.
How Murcia Group Assists
Murcia Group manages interdisciplinary coordination, supports constructability and value reviews, and monitors potential cost and schedule implications. We document important project decisions and help resolve design coordination issues as they emerge, allowing clients to understand the practical implications of their choices and address potential problems before they lead to costly changes during construction.
04. Planning & Procurement
What Happens During This Phase
Planning and procurement prepare the project for approvals, contractor selection, purchasing, and construction. Depending on the project, this stage may include permit submissions, preparation of construction documents, development of bid packages, contractor bidding, contract preparation, and procurement planning. Material selections, supplier coordination, and identifying long-lead equipment help establish what must be approved, purchased, and scheduled before construction can proceed.
How Murcia Group Assists
Murcia Group guides clients through approvals and procurement by coordinating requirements, organizing bidding information, evaluating proposals, and supporting the selection of qualified contractors and suppliers. We help identify procurement risks, assess cost and schedule considerations, and plan for long-lead materials and equipment to support a more organized transition into construction.
05. Construction & Monitoring
What Happens During This Phase
Construction brings the approved design and project plans into reality through coordinated building activities, trade scheduling, material deliveries, installations, and inspections. Throughout this stage, quality, safety, costs, schedules, and compliance with contract documents require ongoing attention. Progress must be reviewed, changes documented, and issues arising from site conditions or construction activities addressed in coordination with the appropriate project participants.
How Murcia Group Assists
Murcia Group serves as the client’s representative, facilitating communication among contractors, suppliers, and other project participants. We review progress and submittals, conduct site observations, track risks and changes, monitor cost and schedule considerations, and help resolve issues promptly. This ongoing coordination gives clients greater visibility into construction progress and helps keep project activities aligned with established objectives and contract requirements.
06. Closeout
What Happens During This Phase
Closeout brings the construction project toward completion and prepares the property for handover and occupancy. The completed work is inspected, outstanding items are identified and resolved, final approvals are obtained where required, and project documentation is assembled. This stage may also include commissioning building systems, owner training, warranty documentation, operating manuals, and transferring essential information to the client to support ongoing property operations.
How Murcia Group Assists
Murcia Group coordinates final inspections and punch-list completion, reviews closeout documentation, and supports commissioning, training, and the transfer of warranties and operating manuals. We help ensure that outstanding work is addressed and the client receives the necessary project information for a smooth transition into occupancy and ongoing operation.
