Criteria for Evaluating a Building Contractor

ABILITY

The measurement of the building contractor's proposed solutions – and their capacity for executing them as planned.

• Does the building solution being offered fit your specific needs?
• Does it account for all relevant considerations - both in terms of the actual construction process and in terms of the facility’s long-term usefulness?

CREDIBILITY

• Will the construction company's performance match their promises?
• Will they stand behind their work once it’s completed?
• Can they provide solid references?
• Do they have repeat clients?
• What do their subcontractors think of them?

These are all questions you should be asking and getting positive responses to.

Anticipating Your Needs

A good building contractor not only responds to your space needs today, but they anticipate your future requirements. RICOP has the experience to project your future requirements and will build that expectation into your proposal. This is done by investing time up front to understand what you need – and why.

Present and future building use, site access, utilities, environmental impact, equipment, personnel and material flow requirements are all needs that RICOP takes the time to investigate.
