Request recent local references and photos of regulation-meeting work. Examine project portfolios that correspond to your requirements, trades, and technical demands.
Assess scheduling protocols, supervision requirements, and subcontractor oversight. Request a comprehensive written scope, CSI-style line items, and a feasible timeline with specific milestones. During contract negotiation, outline allowances, materials, and specifications, permit requirements, inspections, and closeout documents. Tie payments to verified and finished milestones-never advance large deposits. Confirm modification procedures, unit pricing, and dispute settlement procedures. Review safety plan, site security, and warranty terms. Pick the contractor who exhibits transparent documentation, prompt communication, and a proven track record of successful inspections.
