When looking to hire a construction manager for your renovation or new build, the best place to start is with the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process.
What is a construction RFQ?
An RFQ typically introduces your company and project details including the scope of work the general contractor will be hired to perform. You can think of an RFQ as the first screening of a construction company. This is the time when you ask basic questions to gain insight into a firm’s capabilities, expertise and experience. Remember, it’s important to choose a qualified contractor you want to work with for the duration of your project, which sometimes takes multiple years to complete. The RFQ should help you find a team you can trust and want to personally work with.
What does an RFQ ask?
At minimum, these qualifications can include firm history, project team structure and resumes, past project experience and client references, and the firm’s approach to your project.
