Choosing a construction company to plan and complete your project is a big decision. When evaluating your options, it may be tempting to go with the company that offers the best price. But without relevant experience and the right people on the team, things may not go as smoothly as they should.

To help you select a construction company for your next project, we’ve outlined 5 different things to look for.

1. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

One of the best markers of future success is past success. If a construction company recently and successfully completed a project with many similar elements as your own, there’s a good chance they can do it again. They’ll have learned how to approach the project successfully and what types of issues can potentially arise.

2. PROJECT TEAM

While the project experience of the company is certainly important, the experience of the individuals who will be running your projects may be even more so.

When choosing a construction company for your project, you want to know who will be leading your project on a day-to-day basis. Ask them to provide resumes for key people anticipated to lead your project that includes their past projects. 

3. TESTIMONIALS, REFERENCES, & REVIEWS

Another important step in evaluating your options is to see what past clients and other business partners are saying about them. Testimonials, references, and reviews all give you insight into what it’s really like to work with the company. Look for mentions of the quality of their workmanship, their collaborative approach, and their willingness and ability to work through issues as they arise.

4. RESPECT FOR YOUR BUDGET

You want the construction team that can deliver the best project for the least amount of money. However, prioritizing cost above everything can be a risky approach.

Instead, you need a construction team that is not only committed to working within your budget but will do so while considering overall value.

5. UNDERSTANDING & VALUING YOUR GOALS

The last, but probably most important thing you’ll want to look for in a construction team is that they’re committed to understanding and carrying out your vision from the project.

No matter what kind of building you’re creating or renovating, it’s more than just a floor, walls, and a roof. Each building decision you make will influence the character of the project and the way the end-users will interact with and in the building.
