Quality, Schedule, & Cost Certainty
Overaa’s preconstruction services are so well regarded that for every preconstruction service we have delivered, we have always been awarded a construction contract.
We drive the best combination of program goals, design objectives, and cost-effective construction. A high level of collaboration with key project stakeholders is essential — by aligning project goals together, we turn client needs into thoughtful solutions that maximize value.
Our self-perform group’s practical expertise further strengthens our ability to identify constructability solutions and cost savings based on lessons learned from past projects.

Bid Services - Subcontractor Selection
It is critically important to use only safe, experienced, financially solid, and competitive subcontractors and suppliers to ensure the success of a project. Our subcontractor prequalification process is the first formal step toward ensuring that these objectives are met.
Overaa focuses on an aggressive procurement process and encourages submittal of voluntary alternates from qualified subcontractors. Leveraging our 110+ years of local presence within the Bay Area, the prequalification process takes into account the nature of each of the phases to ensure that the appropriate trade or subcontractor will meet the expected project requirements for safety, performance, capability, and experience.
