Why Relationships are Good Business in Commercial Construction

What Is Green

When most people think of commercial construction, they’re thinking about bricks and mortar, paint and flooring, plumbing and electricity. Very seldom are relationships the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about commercial construction. But relationships are extremely important in all aspects of life – including an industry that might be known more for physical labour. If you’re wondering why relationships are good business in commercial construction, we’ve put together this post to help you understand.

Good Relationships Can Generate More Business

No one likes working with people they don’t have a good relationship with – even construction workers. Especially construction workers! Business opportunities in the commercial construction business can come from anywhere. A firm can be recommended by a supplier, a former client or even an overbooked competitor. Treating your suppliers poorly, doing a bad job for a customer or simply bad-mouthing others in the industry aren’t going to win you any favours. The more people that have good things to say about you and your company, the more likely that business opportunities will be sent your way.

Good Relationships Will Improve Company Morale

If you and everyone who works for you know that your company is disliked by everybody in the business, a siege mentality can begin to grow. And while you might think that this will bring your employees together – and it might for a short period of time – eventually everyone will become fatigued by being labelled the “bad guys.” Those who are respected in their profession, whether that’s commercial construction or basket weaving, will have a positive self-image and will enjoy coming into work every day. Those who know that they work for a company with a bad reputation will have a hard time feeling proud about the work they do. Keep up the morale of you and your workers by giving others a good reason for liking you.

Good Relationships Can Lead To Other Opportunities

By creating good relationships in the commercial construction industry you’re paving the way for opportunities in other areas as well. Life is built on far more than work alone. Positive relationships can open doors in other areas of life and the community – not just in business. Even if you don’t need any more business opportunities, no one ever has enough life opportunities. If, for nothing else, create good business relationships to enrich your life and those of your workers.

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.
