Things to Consider When Hiring a Contractor

When hiring a contractor for condo repair, restoration, or construction projects, condo management, board members, and property managers should consider several factors to ensure a successful outcome. First, they need to have a clear vision of the project's desired outcome. Next, they should receive quotes from three contractors, considering their relevant experience, industry memberships, and insurance coverage. Alternatively, a "trusted contractor" system can be utilized if property managers have a list of reputable contractors. After inviting bids, a designated person should meet with each contractor to provide project details consistently. When reviewing quotes, it's essential to compare the scope of work, material specifications, and considerations for the specific project. The cheapest quote may not be the best option, as quality and competency are crucial factors to consider when choosing the right contractor for the condo project.
