Before You Build: Why Pre-Construction Saves Time, Money, and Your Sanity

They start before the first shovel hits the ground. At Duet Build, we don’t just manage construction; we lead with strategy. Pre-construction isn’t a phase we just check off. It’s where smart, successful projects are born.

Rather than a calming moment, this turns into a debate of which part of your body to subject to the outside elements and which will enjoy the warm submersion’s embrace. The balancing act ruins the moment, and we are back at square one, looking for an escape from the ache of the day’s stresses. We have found your source of solace. Meet the soaker tub.
