With so many options for structural concrete contractors, choosing the right one to meet your needs can be a real challenge.  Will they be able to finish it on time, within budget, and up to your specifications?  It’s vital to do some homework beforehand to ensure you make the right decision.

How to Choose the Right Structural Concrete Contractor

1. Determine the scope and budget for the project first.

Most contractors will be happy to work with you to refine designs and plans, but you’ll have problems if you don’t already have a clear idea of the job and the budget constraints.  Always lock these down before looking to hire contractors.

2. Look for actual experience.

There are too many upstart companies in construction today, many who are promise the moon at cut-rate prices.  However, their ability to deliver is usually quite limited.  Look for companies with a genuine track record.

3. Ask for referrals and work sites.

A truly successful concrete contractor should have plenty of satisfied clients willing to offer testimonials.  In addition, unlike many other forms of contracting, you can’t hide a bad building.  Ask them for a list of completed projects, so you can check their work for yourself.

4. Discuss their management methods in interviews.

The larger the project, the more vital management becomes in ensuring it’s completed successfully.  Will they be able to provide project managers and on-site overseers?  If not, be wary, particularly if this is a large project where they’ll be coordinating with other contractors.  One contractor’s management problems could potentially cause trouble for everyone involved.

5. Ask for andverify their credentials.

A reputable construction concern will have all their licenses, certifications, and insurance paperwork in order.  However, don’t take it on faith.  Ask for copies, and follow up to ensure everything is accurate.  Be certain their insurance is solid.
