The right commercial contractor can build the future of your business on budget and on time. But the word right can be subjective, as there\u2019s not one \u201cperfect\u201d contractor for everyone. To help you find your subjective perfect fit, let\u2019s look at three considerations for finding the right type of commercial contractor for your project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your project type determines what type of contractor you need. You wouldn\u2019t go to a residential contractor for a commercial project, just like how you wouldn\u2019t go to a cardiologist if you needed brain surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n When looking at contractors\u2019 websites and <\/span>past projects<\/span><\/a>, consider how many projects are similar to yours AND delivered your desired results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For example, a versatile project with many moving parts, such as condo complex renovation, requires a <\/span>general contractor<\/span><\/a> with a strong understanding of how to remove and reassemble because it can be complex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While we are big fans of supporting businesses local to Hampton Roads, Chesapeake, and <\/span>Virginia Beach<\/span><\/a>, shop local doesn\u2019t apply to only your commercial purchases. You also want to choose a local contractor too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s a few reasons for this:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Choosing a local contractor is an investment in your future, especially for a larger project like a <\/span>build out<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>remodel<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pro-tip: when evaluating local contractors, use these\u00a0guidelines from the state of Virginia<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n While we touched upon this in the last section, this point is worth repeating: the right contractor understands your future. You\u2019ll know a contractor understands your future when they ask questions about your business\u2019 mission and vision\u2013and how you visualize their work playing into that future. In the residential space, this could look like a contractor talking about your family\u2019s needs in a renovated or new home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can also explore their past to understand how they have served past clients. In our <\/span>past project highlights<\/span><\/a>, we always mention how the project captured the essence of the brand and what our client was looking for in their commercial renovation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nProject Type<\/span><\/h2>\n
