Whether you’re building a retail store, office building, hospital, or industrial facility, selecting the right commercial construction provider is critical to your project’s success. Here are a few factors to consider when making this decision to ensure your chosen commercial construction provider is experienced and capable of making your project plans a reality.
Expertise
Gauging a prospective provider’s level of experience and expertise is the first step to determining whether they will be a good fit for your unique project. Researching a company’s past projects helps to identify whether they have the knowledge and capability to take on your commercial build based on the types of projects they’ve completed in the past. Additionally, having an in-person meeting to discuss your building plans helps to measure a prospective company’s working construction knowledge based on the insight and recommendations they provide.
Comprehensive Services
An important factor to consider when selecting your commercial construction provider is how comprehensive their services are, and whether you may have to utilize additional companies or consultants. For example, Gundlach Champion Inc. provides full construction services including pre-construction planning, ongoing maintenance, and project management. Other companies may only offer one or two of these services, thus creating the need for numerous collaborations.
Financial Transparency
Commercial builds are often complex and costly, and it’s important to select a commercial construction provider that is transparent about their financial health. A trusted commercial partner will be able to work within your budget while simultaneously making cost-friendly recommendations and offering options at varying price levels depending on the complexity of your unique project.
Client-Focused Communication
Communication and planning are crucial for any successful commercial construction project, and how a company communicates with you, the client, is indicative of how smoothly a commercial project will be executed. A client-focused construction company will ensure timely and open communication from the beginning of a project to its end, swiftly notifying you of any changes, concerns, barriers, or updated timelines.
Choosing a trusted commercial construction partner is no small decision and can greatly impact the short and long-term success of your construction project. By considering important factors such as level of expertise, service availability, and company policies on budget and communication methods, you can make a much more informed decision. Gundlach Champion’s commitment to excellence in these areas lead to an overall dedication to delivering outstanding construction services that meet and exceed client expectations.
