Throughout our nation, hardworking contractors help build stronger communities through quality commercial construction projects. Their dedication to industry best practices helps create buildings and facilities that serve business, universities, government facilities, and more. At De La Riva Construction, our team of professional commercial contractors is proud to contribute to this culture of excellence.

If you are beginning your organization’s search for a commercial contractor near you for your major project, here are some tips to help you get started.

• Whether you partner with us or another firm, you want the provider you select to have a experience and a documented portfolio of successful commercial projects. Unlike residential construction and remodeling, commercial construction requires a much wider range of knowledge and experience, especially regarding the demands and public safety requirements of an commercial business or institution. For example, fire suppression systems, ADA compliance requirements, proper permitting, and technological incorporation are all concerns that residential contractors may not have enough experience with. In other words, experience with construction is not enough; you want your provider to have the experience with the right kind of construction.
• Next, carefully vet a potential provider’s references. You want to know about how they managed their timeline, did they adhere to the budget, and does the referrer feel that they are satisfied with the quality of craftsmanship? Does your potential provider have experience working on projects similar to your needs?
• Ask potential providers how they select and vet their subcontractors. You want to know that all of those involved have the right experience and skillset to be working on your project.

These are just a few things to think about as you research contractors for new construction or commercial remodeling. We know just how important your investment is, which is why we welcome you to contact us for a consultation so that you can learn more about De La Riva Construction. Together, we can take your project from fresh idea to flawless execution.
