Deep Dive
Residential Pre-Construction Services for Builders, Developers, and Homeowners
Building a home, whether a custom single-family residence, a multi-family development, or a renovation, starts long before the first day on site. Our residential construction support covers the pre-construction work that determines whether that project stays on budget and on schedule: cost estimating, architectural drafting, permit sets, and, where needed, structural and MEP engineering.
We work with individual homeowners planning a custom build, builders bidding residential projects, and developers managing multi-family construction, giving each the specific documentation their project needs rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Every residential project is different, which is why our services are modular: some clients need only a Residential Estimate to bid a job, others need a full estimating-to-permit package coordinated across our Architectural Services, Structural Engineering, and Project Management teams.
What’s Included in a Residential Pre-Construction Package
Depending on your project's stage and needs, a full residential pre-construction package can include:
• A detailed cost estimate and material takeoff for budgeting and bidding
• Architectural drawings and a code-compliant permit set
• Structural and MEP engineering documentation where required by your project or jurisdiction
• A construction schedule to carry your budget into execution
Key Benefits
One Coordinated Team
Estimating, drafting, permitting, and engineering are handled by teams who coordinate with each other, not separate vendors working from different assumptions.
Built for Any Residential Scope
From a single custom home to a multi-family development, services scale to the size and complexity of your project.
Nationwide Coverage
We support residential projects across the U.S., with pricing and documentation reflecting local market and code conditions.
FAQ
Does The ACE Services build homes, or only handle the pre-construction documentation?
We provide pre-construction services, cost estimating, architectural drafting, permit sets, structural and MEP engineering, and project scheduling, for residential projects. We do not perform physical on-site construction; our documentation and estimates are used by your builder or general contractor to execute the build.
Can I use just one service, like a cost estimate, without the full package?
Yes. Each service, estimating, drafting, permitting, engineering, and scheduling, can be requested individually or combined into a full pre-construction package, depending on what your project needs.
Do you work with individual homeowners, or only builders and developers?
Both. We support individual homeowners planning a custom home or renovation, as well as builders and developers managing residential projects at scale.
