What Does a Commercial General Contractor Do?

Determining Your Project Expectations
The first step in selecting your commercial construction company is defining your project scope and priorities. This is important so that you find one that aligns with your company’s expectations. Then, decide upon your desired budget and schedule for your project. Determining this is a vital first step before accepting bids.

Areas of Consideration When Choosing a General Contractor
Experience and Company History
Years of experience can speak volumes about a commercial construction company. A quality contractor, like VEC Inc., will have years of experience and knowledge to support your endeavor. It is also important to decide what type of contractor you want to work with. Do you want a large or smaller local construction company? Corporate or family owned?

Client References and Portfolio
Checking references and contractor portfolios has become standard practice in the selection process. This will provide insight on client satisfaction as well as if they have experience completing commercial project types like yours.
