Construction Process
and Technological Innovation
Urban infrastructure limitations, climate change, resource scarcity, and environmental challenges are driving increasing demand for sustainable buildings. Extending building lifespans, improving energy efficiency, and utilizing renewable energy are becoming essential requirements. It is important to optimize building performance by considering the entire lifecycle, from the pre-construction phase through demolition and disposal. By considering both the embodied impacts and environmental impacts of buildings, greater emphasis should be placed on the use of eco-friendly materials and waste minimization. HanmiGlobal supports the development of sustainable buildings through Pre-Con services, considering the entire lifecycle impacts of buildings. More than 90% of the total cost of a construction project is determined during the planning and design stages. Based on the belief that thorough verification during these early stages is essential to preventing resource waste and minimizing environmental impacts, HanmiGlobal operates its specialized HG Pre-Con service. Before actual construction begins, the company enhances project quality and minimizes potential risks through a virtual simulation process that allows projects to be “built in advance.” HanmiGlobal supports owner decision-making through a systematic three-stage process: Pre-Design → Design → Procurement.
Eco-Friendly Building Construction Grounded in Pre-con
Key Innovation Activities
Pre-construction – the core stage beyond design and construction
Pre-construction refers to every activity carried out before groundbreaking – covering the pre-design, design, and procurement phases – to keep cost, schedule, and quality aligned with the project’s objectives through continuous verification and simulation, thereby minimizing risk and ensuring those objectives are met. Decisions made at this stage determine more than 90% of the total construction cost and largely fix the ultimate quality of the asset. Hence, the value of a building and its final budget depend on who manages pre-construction and how it is executed.

When HanmiGlobal launches a project, it supplies the capabilities clients need to “plan ahead” and “build ahead.” Virtual build-ahead means moving toward perfection from day one: identifying problems early, finishing sooner, spending less, and achieving a higher-grade outcome.
