Pre construction planning depth

How deep should pre construction planning go to realistically support design teams without duplicating contractor scope later?

When defining pre construction planning depth, I learned that the goal is to inform design decisions without prescribing means and methods too far ahead. On several projects, I focused on validating sequencing logic, system interfaces, and major access constraints while leaving detailed trade execution flexible. Using an approach consistent with fields-builds.com/blog/building-a-... I concentrated on confirming buildability assumptions, realistic phasing, and coordination risk areas rather than duplicating contractor level planning. This level of technical support gave design teams clear boundaries and confidence, while still allowing contractors to optimize their scope later without reworking fundamental decisions.
