WHY N-STORE?
SHOULD YOU USE A NATIONAL GC?
It depends on what you are looking for from your general contractor relationship. The following is an overview of why our clients choose national partnerships over local engagements.
Training/Learning Curve
Working with a single or select group of national construction partners enables you to “train” your GCs to deliver consistent results in a manner that meets your specific requirements. Additionally, after some time, the learning curve that exists with any new contractor will be significantly reduced or completely eliminated.
Intelligence
Your long term national GC relationships will become a resource for all of your job related intelligence including lessons learned, specification changes/options, and quality standards.
Relationships
You have a large pool of engineers, architects and vendors that you communicate and coordinate with throughout a project. When working with a long term national partner, direct relationships between the GC and these vendors can be built, enabling them to work directly together to expedite your projects.
Pricing
People often assume there are significant pricing advantages to using a local GC over a national GC. This is quite often false. National GCs that have been involved in a retailer’s construction activities on a repetitive basis have a distinct pricing advantage over local contractors in spite of travel costs.
