Choosing a contractor is one of the most consequential decisions in any commercial build, and a Class A license alone doesn’t guarantee the right fit. In Part 2 of our four-week commercial construction preparation series, we walk through what to verify before you sign. That means confirming credentials, insurance, bonding and safety records, and requesting proposals that spell out their assumptions. It also means building clear authorization protocols into your contract and aligning everyone at a pre-construction kickoff. A structured, defensible selection process now prevents costly disputes later.
