LET’S TALK WHAT DO COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES HAVE TO OFFER? Before delving into what to look for when selecting a commercial construction firm, it’s good to have a grasp of what such firms do. Expertise will vary by company, but likely spans a full range of services needed to get commercial operations off the ground — or to help maintain or expand existing operations. Traditional offerings include, but are not limited to: CONCRETE & STEEL CONSTRUCTION METAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TENANT BUILDOUTS REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE PROJECT MANAGEMENT WHICH INDUSTRIES DO COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES SERVE? For many people, “commercial construction” ends with retail spaces and office buildings. In truth, the work spans far beyond that. Here is just a high-level overview of the industries served: Chemical Plants Industrial Facilities Manufacturing Facilities Office Buildings Oil & Gas Storage Facilities Oil & Gas Terminals Schools Warehouses WHAT SHOULD I KNOW WHEN LOOKING TO HIRE HOUSTON COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES? As with any working relationship, a number of factors come into play. Choosing the right company for the job hinges on determining what matters most to your operations — and which company can yield the results you’re looking for. Here are a few key considerations CHOOSE A COMPANY THAT HAS ITS PAPERWORK IN ORDER: Asking to review a prospective company’s licenses and certifications might seem strange, but it can help you sidestep headaches down the road. A licensed company will require team members to undergo regular job and safety training. This ensures that both their people and yours are protected during the work, and that your jobs are carried out correctly. These companies will also carry insurance coverage that guarantees their work. If issues such as faulty parts or incorrect measurements enter the mix, a licensed company will often right the issue at no added cost to you. CHOOSE A COMPANY THAT CAN HELP WITH A FULL RANGE OF WORK: When you can trust one company to tackle multiple aspects of a project, you find yourself dealing with fewer people — and less confusion — as the work goes on. You can often benefit from price breaks, too, that lead to less money out of pocket. Some companies that carry out commercial work are well-versed in other specialties. FUSED Industries, for instance, offers Industrial, Civil and Commercial construction. CHOOSE A COMPANY WITH A PROVEN TRACK RECORD: Whether you have a good experience with your company or a bad one, chances are it was no fluke. Construction companies tend to tackle most of their jobs in much the same manner, meaning you can tell a lot from what other people have to say. Talk with friends and colleagues about experiences they’ve had in the past, and take a look at online reviews. Digging into a company’s past commercial project work is also a great way to see just what they’re capable of creating. CHOOSE A COMPANY YOU ENJOY BEING AROUND: Something you might not consider is the sheer amount of time you will spend with various members of your commercial construction team. From pre-construction meetups, to inspections throughout the build and potential future project work, some team members begin to feel like old friends. Take the opportunity to talk with project heads early on about issues that matter to your company. Do you like the ideas they’re putting out there? Can you work with the personalities present? A gut feeling can tell you a lot.
