As the year comes to an end, we like to use this time to evaluate our current processes and see what changes we can make. At Lanracorp, one of our core values is continuous improvement. We live by this value by striving to get the job done right and on time. As we wrap up projects for 2021, we are working closely with our customers to make a solid plan of action for the upcoming year. That means fewer delays and setting effective budgets. It all starts by booking your ROW clearing jobs early.
Choosing a Quality Contractor:
For starters, you need to select a few potential contractors. Finding a quality contractor isn’t a fast and easy decision. And going for the lowest bid can put you and your organization at a major risk. Choosing a contractor starts with asking the right questions. What is their safety rating? What does their customer retention look like? Don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions to dig deeper. It’s vital to ensure that you choose a contractor that can prove their expertise- not just promote it. That’s why we urge you to spend time doing thorough research and giving yourself enough time to select the right one.
Set an Effective Budget:
Additionally, you want to set a budget and be sure it’s used efficiently. When evaluating project expenses, throwing numbers around will set you up for the unknown. Once you set a price range, work with your potential contractors on estimates. By planning ahead, you will receive a detailed, accurate contract and scope of work in a timely manner. Utilize our ROW Assessment Program to help you plan and set a budget based upon actual needs, we can help with long term planning and budgeting as well. Finally, don’t have a “lowest bid” mentality on service contracts, it usually sets both parties up for failure (contract execution issues, quality and safety).
A Timely and Successful ROW Clearing Project:
In the long run, booking your project early results in an overall successful ROW job. In our line of work, taking risks is not an option. At Lanracorp, we’ve found that the best way to achieve a culture of safety and quality is through emphasizing them in our everyday decisions. Our dedication is reflected through our 90% customer retention rate. There are no shortcuts when it comes to success. By cutting corners, you are allowing more risk to occur in your work environment. Every project is an investment towards your company. So choose wisely.
