Avoid the pitfalls of construction extras: a human approach to successful projects!

Have you ever been in a situation where you bid on a construction project, then once the contract was signed, extras started piling up and the final cost skyrocketed? Unfortunately, this happens too often in the construction industry.
But why is this happening? Simply because customers often seek to obtain the lowest cost by selecting the contractor who offers the cheapest quote.

This means that the contractor must bid with blinders on and forget about anything that is not explicitly written.

However, this can be difficult when the client has taken six to twelve months to discuss with professionals and design the project. It is impossible for all information to be 100% on paper, and the client’s needs may not have been conveyed perfectly.
This is how the race for interpretation begins, and the selected contractor can see, after discussions with the client, that the needs have evolved or have been interpreted differently. The extras pile up, the client feels held hostage, they run out of money at the end of the project, and the contractor has to fight to get paid.
At Protech Construction, we offer a different approach. Our approach is focused on people, their well-being and their success. Our goal is to improve your quality of life, both professionally and personally, by carrying out projects that exceed your expectations.
The key to our success lies in our ability to truly understand your project. We start from the beginning of your preliminary reflection to think about your project and we even want to understand your business model to be able to offer you the right solutions.
We believe so much in the projects in which we invest ourselves that sometimes we even become partners and shareholders in projects with our clients.
We are honest, transparent, accurate and take the time to think of everything possible before producing our offer. We believe that communication and involvement from the start are the keys to the success of a construction project. Therefore, we do not consider it necessary to go into submission. We listen to our customers, understand their needs and business model, and work together to deliver solutions that work for them.
If you are ready to live an experience centered on your success, on human beings and their well-being, contact us from the start of your project. Don’t let the extras catch up with you at the end of the build. We are here to help you succeed!
