A- As
one of the main benefits of our Co-op, Aston Whitehall
coordinates the logistical match-up of contractor with client,
based upon one or more of the following criteria:
Proximity:
As the biggest “enemies” of the industry have become gas
prices and traffic jams
(especially in and
around the GTA), we try to keep each contractor working
within a more confined area.
Through this coordination each job is performed faster,
the costs are kept down, and the contractor’s capacity
to perform local work is greatly increased.
As well, any service calls that may occur after the job is
completed are dealt with more efficiently.
Service Level: The
proper matching of service level (the type of contracting
required) to each client is based not only upon price
range, but on other factors as well:
For example, a Design-Build or Managing/Working Contractor may have years
of experience in completing interior work, such as
basements, bathrooms, and kitchens, but may prefer to
avoid managing tradespersons involved with exterior work,
such as roofing, concrete, etc.
Other contractors may specialize in managing all types exterior work but
prefer to stay away from interior renovations.
And then there are those contractors who are set up to
efficiently complete both interior and exterior jobs.
This simply becomes a matter of our identifying the personal preferences
and experience on the part of each contractor.
In order to create a good “match-up,” we’ll determine
whether or not it makes sense to mix up interior and
exterior work under one contract or to separately assign
individual tradespersons for the work.
From our standpoint, whatever is good for the client is
good for us.
