Englewood Construction is currently negotiating a contract with Mrs. Green’s to convert former Fox and Obel in Chicago.

Bids were up…substantially. Project bidding came back at a high velocity in 2012. It was good to see so many commercial developers, owners, retailers and restaurants moving forward with confidence and initiating new commercial construction projects. However, this activity level came with a caveat. Englewood and world domination.

Don’t always take the lowest bid. I know this is a tough one to follow as we all need to keep commercial construction budgets in check, but we saw too many companies go with pick-up truck contractors in 2010 only to be burned later. Qualify general contractors that build in your wheelhouse. Bring your GC in early.

Working with a commercial contractor on a negotiated-bid basis, as Englewood Construction does with long-term client American Girl, can minimize the likelihood you’ll hear “no” from your GC during the bidding process. As a national commercial contractor , we are first and foremost in the business of customer service.

I’ve got to ask, are you still competitively bidding the bulk of your commercial construction projects? And here’s why: 1. Negotiating with a commercial contractor allows you to split unforeseen cost savings. When you negotiate, any cost savings your contractor may uncover are split between the two of you.

The activity level that we saw in the fourth quarter of 2012 in new retail, restaurant and hospitality construction projects is double what we saw a year earlier. As a result, we filled five commercial construction job openings recently to handle the inflow of bid work. Once the dust settles, we can’t wait to share it.
