Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Senior Preconstruction Managers who run multiple pursuits at once — owning GMP sign-off, client-facing budget conversations, VE strategy, and the estimators underneath them. Verified on the number that mattered: how their GMPs performed against final cost.
A structured process for a senior precon hire — the seat that decides which pursuits you win, what margin you win them at, and whether operations inherits a buildable number.
30-minute call. We align on pursuit volume and size, delivery methods, team structure under the seat, client-facing expectations, and sector mix.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Senior Preconstruction Managers with sector-matched GMP history at your project scale. References from operations and executive leadership included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — retained search, contract, and direct hire alike.
We verify how their GMPs performed — buyout gains or busts, contingency posture, and final cost outcomes — with the project executives and operations leaders who lived with the numbers.
Senior precon is a sales seat as much as a technical one. We reference-check how candidates carried budget conversations with owners, developers, and design teams under pressure.
Verified track record developing estimators and precon managers — because the seat is only scalable if the people underneath it get better every pursuit.
Reference-verified history running concurrent pursuits — typically $100M–$1B+ aggregate — without milestone slips or coverage gaps.
How the last several GMPs closed out — buyout performance, contingency use, and change exposure — verified with operations, not self-reported.
Depth across GMP/CM at-risk, design-build, design-assist, and progressive delivery — matched to how your contracts are actually structured.
Reference-verified management of estimators and precon staff — workload balancing, review discipline, and development of the next senior layer.
We’ll help calibrate on the call — pursuit volume, GMP authority, and team size usually settle whether you need a manager, a senior manager, or a director.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks; total time to placement typically 4–6 weeks. Senior precon talent with verified GMP records rarely applies to postings — nearly all of our placements at this level come from direct, mapped outreach.
Most US Senior Preconstruction Manager packages fall between $165,000 and $215,000 base, with hyperscale data center and semiconductor markets commonly reaching $190,000–$240,000 plus 15–25% bonus. Coastal and high-demand fab markets price at the top of the band.
A Senior Precon Manager still owns pursuits directly — running estimates, GMPs, and client budget conversations — while mentoring staff. A Director of Preconstruction owns the function: staffing, process, go/no-go input, and precon P&L across the business unit.
Yes. Mission-critical precon is our core network — including senior precon leads from top-ENR data center builders, life sciences CMs, and semiconductor programs, fluent in long-lead equipment strategy, owner-furnished scope, and phased GMP structures.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model.
We reference the outcomes — GMP-to-actual performance, buyout results, and client relationships — with the executives and operations leaders who saw them firsthand. Title inflation is rampant in precon; verified numbers are how we filter it out.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the seat, your pursuit pipeline, GMP authority, and team structure — then start sourcing from a mapped network of senior precon leaders in your sector.
