Contractor for an industrial facility
We’re looking for a contractor to build an industrial facility and have several bids. What should we pay attention to besides price when choosing a general contractor for an investment like this?

·4 months agoI don’t know the contractor as such, but I do know a great surveyor who could also be useful for the work - https://www.geodezja-geotech.pl/
He did a great job for us, quickly and honestly

·4 months agoThe first thing I’d look at is a portfolio of similar projects, meaning not just houses or office buildings but specifically industrial facilities, because that’s a completely different type of construction with different technical challenges. A good contractor should show you references from clients with similar projects, and it’s worth verifying those references by phone, not just reading them on paper. The second thing is financial stability and execution resources, because a bankrupt subcontractor halfway through a warehouse build is a nightmare scenario. It’s worth checking whether the company has its own equipment and permanent employees or whether it operates solely on subcontractors with no real oversight. The third issue is the quality of communication and organization already at the quoting stage, because if the contractor is chaotic in answering questions before the contract is signed, imagine what communication will look like during construction. The fourth is the clarity of the contract and exactly what is included in the price and what is not. It’s worth taking a look at https://paro.pl/oferta/obiekty-przemyslowe/ to see how an experienced contractor with a real industrial portfolio approaches this.
