What To Expect From A Good Construction Company
2

• Whatever type of construction project youre
  undertaking, the company that you choose to carry
  out the work can be the difference between a
  successful project, and one that is an expensive
  failure. Below are some of the most important
  things to look out for when hiring a general
  contractor, and what you should expect from a
  reputable, professional one
• How much experience do they have?
• While its true that everyone has to start
  somewhere, it pays to find a construction company
  that has at least a few years of experience under
  their belts, so that you can be sure they have
  the relevant skills to carry out the work
  professionally.

• Are they reliable?
• Do their previous clients compliment them on
  completing the work in a timely fashion? When you
  communicate with them, can you rely on them to
  respond promptly and professionally?
• Do they have a good understanding of
  architectural design?
• Whether they have their own architect, or will be
  working with one of your choice, they need to
  understand the basics of construction design and
  be able to work closely with the architect to
  ensure the smooth completion of the project.
  Anything less could result in a project laden
  with mistakes, or one that runs many months
  overdue.

• Can you work well with them?
• Whether its the relationship between you and the
  general contractor, or between the contractor and
  their tradespeople, communication needs to be
  open and honest, and all parties must be able to
  work comfortably with one another throughout the
  duration of the project.
• Are they able to give you financial guidance?
• Construction projects can vary wildly in cost,
  but no matter how big or small your budget, a
  good construction company should be able to give
  you accurate, confident guidance with respect to
  the financial constraints of the project,
  including expected costs and how you might
  finance them.

5

• Can your general contractor manage every aspect
  of the construction?
• From planning, right through to execution, you
  want your construction company to be able to
  handle the entire project from beginning to end
  dealing with multiple parties during a
  construction company can be stressful and costly,
  so its best to work with a general contractor
  who has his own sub-contractors and tradesmen.

6

• Overall, your chosen construction company should
  behave in the same way as you would expect from
  any professional organization, and you should be
  able to have confidence in their abilities.
  However, some of their abilities are naturally
  specific to their industry, and they should have
  all the relevant qualifications, skills and
  experience to carry out a number of
  construction-related tasks with ease. They should
  also be licensed and insured and communicate with
  you in a way that ensures the project runs
  smoothly from beginning to end. To make sure you
  dont end up with a less than great construction
  company, do your research and give yourself
  plenty of time to find the right general
  contractor, before the project is due to commence.
