Construction can’t begin without proper site preparation, and that’s where land development companies come in. Land development companies often handle everything from land clearing and grading to demolition, erosion control, and more. But not every land development company is created equal. Some are more competent and trustworthy than others, and it’s important to be able to distinguish between them.
If you are looking at land development companies for an upcoming construction project, here are several red flags to watch out for before hiring someone:
- Lack of Experience- A brand-new land development company may not necessarily be a bad thing, but it is riskier to hire one instead of an established company. Furthermore, the land development company you choose should have relevant experience in your specific type of project. If you’re construction a large apartment complex but the land development company you’re considering only has experience in small projects, you should look elsewhere.
- Bad Reviews- While reviews can often be skewed to opposite extremes, with happy clients singing the company’s praises and unhappy clients voicing their complaints somewhat aggressively, a company with several negative reviews may not be the best choice.
- Poor Organization/Communication- Land development companies should be able to keep site preparation on track by communicating clearly with all involved parties and managing the entire process effectively. If a company is lacking in either one of these areas, you may want to consider another company that will make organization and communication a priority.
