Finding the right general contractor to oversee potentially one of your most important investments can be a critical task that should not be taken lightly. Below are some general principles that should be considered before you come to a conclusion:
Interview a Few Choices: Unless you are very certain you happened to found the right choice, you should get a few proposals. Do not make a decisions simply on the price but get a good well rounded feel on the experience, services included and needs of your own.
Ask for Recommendations: Vetting your choices with other in the industry can save you a tremendous amount of headache and you can learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before you. Honest advice from colleagues who have the same needs as you do usually can’t hurt.
Examine the Agreements: Once you are close to an agreement make sure the paperwork you are going to sign lines us with the discussions you have had. Get very comfortable with the expectations how your contractor will handle the various stages of the project, payments, 3rd parties, and how any issues that arise will be handled so you eliminate risks and uncertainties.
A good general contractor will help ensure the integrity of your real estate investments. A bad contractor can compromise all that you have worked for. Do your diligence to ensure you are in good hands.
