Technical Studies & Preconstruction · Roca Global Builders

The most costly mistakes in a project usually begin before the first crew arrives: incomplete information, unverified conditions, and ambiguous scopes.

Construction needs that do not yet have a defined scope.
Existing facilities with defects or deterioration.
Projects with incomplete information.
Budgets that are difficult to compare.
Risk of hidden conditions.
Interference between different trades.
Work inside facilities that remain in operation.
Need to establish phases and priorities.
Lack of information to request quotes.
Technical alternatives with different costs and benefits.

We conduct field visits and technical reviews to understand the current condition of the property or facility.

Visual inspection.
Photographic record.
Verification of physical conditions.
Preliminary identification of damage.
Review of access points and restrictions.
Detection of interferences.
Identification of construction risks.
Recommendations for additional studies.

A visual assessment does not replace destructive testing, specialized studies, or signed reports when these are required.

We organize the client's needs and turn them into a scope that can be budgeted, coordinated, and executed.

Included activities.
Preliminary quantities.
Limits of the work area.
Materials and systems considered.
Execution assumptions.
Work not included.
Responsibilities of the client and the contractor.
Conditions for additional work.
Phases and priorities.

Defining the problem before building the solution avoids the most costly changes.

Sequence of activities.
Preliminary duration.
Critical activities.
Procurement lead times.
Operational constraints.
Night or weekend work.
Partial closures.
Coordination with production.

Reliable information for proper planning and execution: it prevents errors in location, elevations, slopes, and quantities.

Survey of existing conditions.
Topographic information of the site.
Identification of elevations and slopes.
Surface documentation.
Location verification.
Support for construction layout.
Record of visible infrastructure.
Information for drainage analysis.
Documentation of completed work.
Coordination of specialized surveys.
Digital models and site representations.

When the law requires professional surveying services, legal boundary determination, certification, or a stamp, these must be performed or validated by a licensed professional.

Drainage problems can cause interruptions, floor damage, odors, contamination, moisture, and repeated repairs. We evaluate and coordinate solutions for new systems, expansions, replacements, and rehabilitations.

Sanitary and storm drainage systems.
Industrial drains.
Floor drains.
Linear and trench drains.
Interior and exterior piping.
Review of slopes and routing.
Repair and replacement of piping.
Connections to existing systems.
Concrete demolition and restoration.
Improvements to discharge and conveyance.
Coordination of permits and inspections.
Documentation of conditions found.
Testing and closeout of work.

Assessment of existing equipment.
Replacement planning.
Air conditioning improvements.
Ventilation and exhaust systems.
Ductwork modification and coordination.
Air distribution.
Coordination of indoor and outdoor equipment.
Mechanical room improvements.
Refrigeration and process cooling.
Supports, bases, and guards.
Electrical supply and associated controls.
Condensate drainage.
Coordination of installation, testing, and startup.
Planning of work without fully stopping operations.

When calculations, stamped drawings, permits, or professional design are required, the work must be coordinated with licensed engineers and contractors.

Visual assessment of existing conditions.
Equipment foundations.
Concrete bases and pedestals.
Steel structures.
Work platforms.
Supports for equipment and piping.
Canopies and awnings.
Reinforcements and repairs.

Stairs, handrails, and guards.
Coordination of anchors and connections.
Erection sequences.
Coordination with structural engineers.

Calculations, reports, and documents requiring professional responsibility must be prepared or reviewed by a licensed engineer in the corresponding jurisdiction.

Functional, buildable spaces aligned with the budget: offices, stores, restaurants, warehouses, service areas, homes, kitchens, bathrooms, additions, facades, and outdoor spaces.

Survey of existing conditions.
Space layout and utilization.
Conceptual design.
