It’s certainly no secret that things have been slow in the economy lately. The
impact on construction, with the exception of projects fueled by the federal stimulus
program, has been quite severe. Jobs are scarce, competition is fierce, and financing
is hard to come by. In the face of this “Perfect Storm” many contractors, architects,
and engineering firms have cut staff – even sales staff – attempting to maintain
profitability. For some, things are reaching the crisis stage. But in every crisis there
is opportunity.
“WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE”
It’s a fact! Typically, most of the problems that develop between the customer and his contractor(s) during the construction phase of a building project are the result of oversights, misunderstandings and unresolved issues during the early, pre-construction phase. Whether it is change orders or unanticipated costs after construction has begun, many of these issues could have easily been avoided if the customer had received proper guidance prior to contract signing.
