Precon Services for Demolition, Rigging & Plant Relocation

For more than 90 years, R. Baker & Son has been delivering expert precon services for demolition, rigging, and industrial plant relocation projects. Before any construction work begins, our team develops detailed pre-construction plans that help clients save time, reduce costs, and eliminate surprises.

From scheduling and budgeting to layout and execution, the precon phase is where critical decisions are made that determine a project's overall accuracy, efficiency, and outcome. A thorough precon effort means fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and a significantly better return on investment.

The most important work on any project happens before construction ever begins. That's where decades of hands-on experience truly pay off and why so many owners and construction managers bring R. Baker & Son in as part of their precon team. With over 90 years in the industry, no other contractor brings that level of depth to the planning table. That experience translates directly into time savings, cost savings, and smarter execution from day one.

What Precon Looks Like at R. Baker & Son

R. Baker & Son's precon process is thorough, detail-driven, and tailored to each project. All demolition and selective demolition procedures are carefully evaluated and outlined to meet each client's specific needs. Rigging and routing plans define how, when, and where equipment will be moved - accounting for sizes, weights, and separation points. Mobilization and demobilization plans address the full logistics of moving cranes, lulls, and other heavy equipment, ensuring nothing is left to chance.

Debris separation and removal are built into the precon plan from the start. Hazardous materials are identified early, and clean demolition and remediation plans are developed to satisfy all regulatory requirements. Dust, noise, and vibration management are addressed in detail, and equipment delivery and storage locations are determined well in advance. All available LEED rating points are identified as part of the process.

Finding Smarter Ways to Get the Job Done

One of the greatest advantages of a strong precon effort is the opportunity to identify innovative, cost-effective solutions before work begins. R. Baker & Son actively looks for ways to streamline execution - whether that means sourcing local offsite storage and assembly to ensure equipment arrives exactly how and when it's needed, incorporating prefabricated pieces or systems to support project timelines, or identifying assets and asset recovery opportunities that can help offset overall project costs. Asset recovery, in particular, is a common and effective way to add value that many project teams overlook.

Precon Applies Across All Project Types

Pre-construction planning isn't limited to new construction. It plays an equally critical role in renovation projects and is a significant factor in plant relocation projects, where the complexity of moving active operations demands precise coordination and foresight.

With over 90 years of project experience, R. Baker & Son has the knowledge and resources to plan, support, and execute at the highest level - delivering the accuracy, innovation, and reliability our clients count on every time.
