While the idea for your new commercial construction/renovation project can be easy, finding a contractor to bring those dreams to life just how you want them to can be complicated. With so many different companies and contractors out there, it can feel like a maze figuring out which one will be best suited to your needs. Luckily, we here at Lions Den Construction have come up with a guide on how to choose the right contractor for your needs.
Take a Close Look at Their Portfolio
Since every company is different with how they go about their projects, there will likely be a variety in styles that they implement into their projects. As a matter of fact, some companies will even have certain specialized services/designs they focus more on than others. If you can find a company that matches your dream vision for your commercial space, you’re one step closer to finding the perfect contractor for your project.
The best way to do this? Look at their portfolio.
Most companies will have an online portfolio or gallery that shows all of their previous projects so you can get an idea of their most prominent design methods. If you find stuff on their portfolio that is similar to your vision- great! If not, it might be time to look elsewhere or have a discussion with the contractor about whether or not they can make your design a reality.
Always Check Their Reviews!
One of the greatest ways to ensure that a company/contractor is worth your time and money is by taking a look at their online reviews. A large majority of businesses will have this type of information if you go searching for it, and reviews will often say a lot about a company, their values, and their work ethic. If you see mostly good reviews for a company that’s a good sign, but you may not be in the clear just yet. Some companies can start out providing good service but diminish in quality overtime. Luckily, on most sites you can filter reviews to “most recent”, so you can get reviews from clients who have recently worked with a certain company. If all of these boxes end up getting checked off, you’re another step closer to finding the perfect company!
Look Into Their Safety Records
You may be aware of this, but in general, construction is quite the risky business in comparison to other services provided out there. Because of this, you want to be sure that you aren’t considered liable for any potential injuries on the site. You can avoid all of this by hiring a team that is certified, licensed and insured so your project is implemented in the safest, most effective way possible. Always be sure to look at a companies’ safety records before beginning a project.
