The clear DISadvantages to Competitive Bidding
Competitive Bidding rewards the lowest price and offers no advantage to quality workmanship & clear communication, which GMH Construction prides itself on.
A survey of satisfied homeowners of completed projects listed the most important qualities of a good contractor in the following order:
- Honesty/Integrity
- On-Time Performance
- Good Communication Skills
- Expert Knowledge
- Good Subcontractors
- Licensed, Insured, and High Ratings
- The Ability to Empathize
- Long-Term Relationship Oriented
Price isn’t even mentioned!
We don’t feel that an estimate driven by price is going to give you what you really need. Do you really want to hire a contractor who shaves labor or materials and looks for the cheapest way to do things in the place you and your family will be living and sleeping?
Would you put your home and safety on the line to shave a few bucks?
We prefer to do things the best way. “Best” in our opinion means the most effective combination of price to performance – You get the most bang for your buck and we make a fair living.
Regarding price, we don’t set the price for your project – You set the price based on what you want done and the material you want used. We will make recommendations and won’t use products or subcontractors we have had negative experiences with previously.
A Competitive Bid does not demonstrate how we, as an experienced contracting company, can guide you through the construction process, from beginning to end. Therefore, GMH Construction does not work with Competitive Bidding.
We ask that you select your contractor based on reputation and referrals… Not Price
