How many times have you heard the old joke, ‘that must have been built by the lowest bidder,’ when looking at crumbling building, a drafty home or broken infrastructure?’ While that is rarely the actual reason for such situations, it’s a sad but true fact that some companies cut corners to find the lowest price point for a contract.
Before choosing anyone for a project, it’s important to know exactly who you’re dealing with. When you research a company, look at every aspect of their business. Far too often, a client is lured in by a final dollar amount and they skip past the steps leading to it.
One of the best sources of information is former customers. Look for testimonials or go out and talk to people that have worked with the builder in the past. When a builder has years of past jobs and a long line of satisfied customers, you know that you will get exactly what you want with no strings attached.
That’s the way we look at things here at North Twin Builders. We WANT you to talk to our former clients; we WANT you to look at our track record of successful projects. Those things tell you more about us than anything else. When a builder’s bottom line looks too good to be true, make sure you find out how they plan to get there.
Thank you for reading through our blog.
