Of all the decisions made by construction managers, Architects, owners representatives and co-op/condo boards during a renovation, the selection and engagement of a contractor is one of the most critical.
There are some essential considerations for someone involved in this research. First, what services are offered by the contractor? They should match the project requirements.
A contractor assumes broad responsibilities in a restoration project, so it makes sense to research your choices thoroughly. Even large scale construction professionals look for assurances of quality, reliability and competence. |

| Next, will the contractor perform successfully? A thorough review of references and contractor qualifications as well as personal interviews may be necessary.
Finally, are you compatible in management style and your respective approaches to the application of resources? If so, and when you communicate easily and feel you can establish trust, you may have found the right contractor. On this score, it can pay to go with your instincts.
