How it works: TradeMark Contractor Services consults on capital projects for condominium Board of Managers, apartment building investors, Commercial Projects and to REO Managers. We take the lead as client representative on major projects from conception to completion, turn over, and warranty follow-up.

 

Contractor Services consults on 'all trades' work for out clientele. Most commonly we do work for our Commercial clients, our Boards of Manager, Investors and REO portfolio managers.  TradeMark Contractor Services role is often defining requirements and crafting the RFP deliverable, and then either: a) Distribute the RFP and Manage the Selection Process or b) Perform the Work. If we are to compete with other Contractors we'll ask the client to recommend two competing firms to receive the RFP.

 

Defining the requirements begins with a review process to assist the client with quantifying the RFP priorities and expectations. We provide the weighted matrix to measure qualitative and quantitative competitive features based on client defined priorities and budget. We help the client make an informed, knowledgeable decision as well as consult, and advise at each step of the process.

 

The analysis is blended with intrinsic value assessments and interview to determine if the result is: a) clear short list  b) two horse race or  c) clear winner.
