Traditionally, General Contractors have self-performed most of the work on a project. Although this was an honorable practice, it became too expensive for contractors to maintain such a large and diversified workforce in a changing industry. As a result, specialty trades evolved and the “subcontract” movement began. Today, subcontractors typically perform about 80% of the work. The General Contractor orchestrates and administers the project; performing the balance of the work with its own forces.
MCR Services, Inc. is different from most General Contractors:
We refer to our subcontractors as partners, since they are our true construction partners on your project. We place emphasis on the relationships we develop; not on a simple business transaction.
Relationships are based on mutual trust. Because we work hard with our partners to develop these all-important relationships, we have effectively eliminated the ethical breaches that in the past have sometimes been a problem within the construction industry.
With our project partners, we are working collectively to improve the ethical standards of the construction profession.
Our partner relationships are critical to the success of our projects. Without them, we could not maintain our high quality standards—or exist as a dynamic company.
Our proven partner approach—and our pre-qualification process—minimizes risk for all parties involved in the project.
Since we maintain multiple partners for each trade and solicit multiple bids on each project, you receive the best—and most qualified—pricing.
Comprehensive Estimating:
We are not always the lowest bidder, but we are always the most comprehensive. This minimizes any Change Orders: you get all the information you need up front.
Lower Overhead:
Since we pre-quality our project opportunities, we ensure a better rate of success for ourselves and our partners. This reduces our opportunity costs (the true cost of doing business). With lowered overhead costs, we are better able to plan and focus on your project instead of spending all of our time pursuing future opportunities.
Minimized Risk:
Since all project participants are 100% behind the success of your project, all parties stay aligned. True partnership and cooperation minimizes risk.
