Hello Everyone,
After many years in dealing with the construction industry, we decided it was time to show the world how the construction industry really exists.
So we created blogmycontractor.com
Call it therapy or kind words of wisdom.
The point of this blog is to show the world (via an architects’ view) on how certain contractors perform. There are some good ones & some very bad ones. As architects, it is our hope we will help you sift through the vast amount of information to help you find the right ones….
Stay tuned as we begin this difficult process…
