Before You Hire a Contractor: 5 Things That Decide Whether Your Project Runs Smoothly

Before you hire a contractor, 5 things to know 

Hi there. I’m Woody, and CrossFields is my company. We are a commercial design and construction company…Today I’m going to walk you through how to find the right team for your commercial project.

You already know there are plenty of contractors out there. The problem is their experience and follow-through can be all over the place. That leaves you trying to make big decisions without the full picture. Bottom line: that’s risky—and it can cost you time and money.

But you don’t have to guess your way through it. With more than 40 years in this industry, at CrossFields… we boiled it down to five key things that will help you make a confident, educated choice. 

1.) Proven Experience

Look at their proven experience in projects like yours. The right team should understand your type of space, your timeline, and the level of detail required. A great kitchen remodeler can be a great craftsman, but can struggle with all the commercial codes, different building products….just to name a few 

2.) Clear Communication

Make sure they offer clear communication. You deserve updates you can trust, not surprises that derail the job. 

3.) Review the Process

Review their process. A strong contractor has a repeatable system that keeps design, permitting, and construction moving without confusion. 

4.) Understand Scope of Work

Make sure you understand the scope of work that is included in the quote you receive. There are no bad questions….and getting answers up front will start the project on the right foot 

5.) They Stand Behind Their Work

Confirm they stand behind their work. A reliable contractor doesn’t disappear once the job is done. They should stay accountable.

These five simple points will keep you out of those uncharted waters and help you move forward with confidence. Let’s get it built right.
