How to Hire the Right Construction Company

When building or renovating, hiring the right construction company will go a long way to reducing stress, delays and costly overruns.  But what do you need to look at to make sure you end up with the right company? This article will go over some of the things to look for when hiring a construction company.

Experience

It’s not to say that new builders will necessarily be bad builders, but companies that have experience have proof they are able to take on a project and finish it as agreed.  Knowing how much and what kind of experience both the company and its employees have can give you an idea if they’re the right fit for the job you’re trying to get done. Don’t be afraid to ask for details about the company and employee history.

A Realistic Estimate

Understanding how much the job is going to cost, what types of materials are going to be used and a timeline for the various aspects of the project will give you some sort of idea of the type of company that is vying for your business.  Does it appear the materials suggested are overpriced or of poor quality?  Does the overall cost of the project seem too good to be true or far beyond what you might have expected?  Does the timeline seem realistic or is it much longer than you’re prepared to deal with?  These are all questions that can be asked when reviewing the estimate and give you a better sense of who you are dealing with.

Flexibility

Ideally you want a company who is going to work with you and not just for you.  As professionals, they should have some ideas on how things can be done better regarding quality, price, design or other factors.  However, you also want a contractor who will listen to your ideas and share your vision of the finished project.  Finding a company who can easily suggest ideas as well as take suggestions will go a long way to ending up with a project everyone is happy with.

MMD Construction built us retail space on the second story of our current store space. Dino and his team built walls, cut out spaces for internal windows, ran wiring, installed lights, and put down floors. The job was done timely with minimal disruption to business and we now have a functioning business up on the second level. Thank you!

MMD is one of the best companies I have had the pleasure to work with. Highly professional from start to finish, available any time to meet or speak with you. MMD has a great team that meets deadlines and delivers. One of the things that I liked about working with them was that they were very experienced and anticipated any possible complications. They were fully transparent from the beginning of the process, so there were no surprises later.

We’ve done 2 projects with MMD Construction. The high standards of the company are reflected by their employees and the trades they work with. MMD's team delivered our design & build project on time and on budget. If we have a third project in our future, you can be assured that we’ll work with MMD Construction again!

We recently used Dino and his team to do a commercial build for our interior space. They were very professional and knowledgeable. MMD was able to deliver our job ahead of schedule and on budget. Great people to work with. We would hire them again in the future and would recommend them for your next job.
