Are you considering a new construction or a renovation for your hospitality property? Whether starting from scratch, renovating a space, or hiring someone to do it for you, you need to look for warning signs that something may go wrong with your project. It is common for unexpected issues to arise as you start your project, but there are many things you can look out for in the very beginning. At Case and Associates General Contractors, we can help you assess your new project from the ground up!
Foundation Issues
You know they say – everything starts with a solid foundation! Especially when you are rebuilding or renovating an existing project, check on the health of the foundation. Building on an unstable base may create problems as the project progresses or in the long run. One of the more obvious physical signs of foundation damage is cracks, whether it be in floors, frames, or walls. Run a thorough inspection of your base and make necessary repairs or adjustments before starting your project. It can be time-consuming and tedious to fix foundation issues once your project has begun, so look for these warning signs from the start! If you aren’t sure if your hospitality property’s foundation is ready for renovation, Case and Associates is here to help.
Unclear Contract
Warning signs can be seen in the physical state of your property but also in the people you do business with. When working with a contractor or construction company, review the contract thoroughly. First, ensure the agreement is written and available before the project begins. Once you receive the contracts, look for any apparent discrepancies or unexpected items. Look for vague language besides the big red flags in the contract. If the project details need to be clarified, it can leave much room for misunderstanding and error. Before any construction begins, you and the contractor must approve the clear written contract. We have successfully conducted hospitality renovation projects for over 30 years and are experts at setting a solid foundation – and legal foundation – for every project.
Extremely Low Quote
An extremely high quote could be a warning sign, but a meager bid will result in a poor-quality build! Contractors who offer extremely low quotes may be cutting corners to get their prices that low. Discuss with your team and review the written proposal to ensure the parts need for the construction project are all there. Leaving fulfillments incomplete or requiring the right qualifications are hidden ways contractors can keep costs low to gain customers. Make sure their quality of work is up to your standards before starting a partnership.
