Why the Lowest Bid Isn't Always an Indicator of Cost of a Project
Seth Kiser
Commercial Construction
Sr. Project Manager
The Know Your Building process dictates that we look at the whole picture early and get as much information and educate our clients as early as possible. We've found that the lowest bid is not always looking at the whole picture. Documents are always available to bid in every project but just bidding the documents may not be everything the client needs. We don't look to necessarily to the low bidder. We want to be the right bid and bring everything to the table early.

The Art of Listening
Mark Enger

It's important to listen to the client and focus on four key areas: wants, needs, dream and budget. The goal is to not lose focus on the dream.
Know Your Building™
Jim Lampus
President
Norwest Contractors
Our Know Your Building™ (KYB) methodology is a rigorous process which extends far beyond the initial conversations with our clients. KYB starts with doing homework up front in a detail-oriented fashion, researching building infrastructure, jurisdictions, selecting the right subcontractors, etc. This typically requires early involvement at the vision formulation stage. Our early investigation can uncover potential speed bumps or raise red flags that might affect the budget. We believe that KYB is the best path to delivering on your vision—on time and on budget with no surprises.
