Philadelphia GC’s are Impossible! General Contractor Nightmares

They don’t call! They don’t show up! They overcharge! They lack professionalism! They just won’t finish the job! The list goes on and on.

Hiring a GC is usually a nightmarish situation and when you find a good one, hold them tight! As an investor in the Philadelphia market, my partner Mike and I have been buying and developing our own properties in a part time capacity for a number of years, and without a single complaint about our GC. We hit our budgets and are competitively priced, build quick, high quality and have a meticulous eye for detail. How did we do this? How did we hit the GC jackpot? We decided the only ones that understood the needs of an investor, and the responsiveness and management requirements was ourselves. We started our own Philadelphia based GC company and built our own jobs for years!

Fellow investors have been asking us to build for them, but our focus was to keep small and focused on our jobs. We heard the nightmare stories too often and it finally pulled at our heartstrings enough that we began building for a select few.

Things have been going very well and we are now reaching out to the community and seeking out those investors who haven’t found a reliable GC they can trust. We bring competitive bids and open book pricing to every job and typically, accelerated timelines.

If you’re in the search for a better than good GC, please reach out. We would love to chat with you!
