Top 5 Contracting & Sub-Contracting Mistakes

Did you know that the team here at M1 & Co do contracting as well as sub-contracting work across NSW and Australia-wide?

 

We can help scale big projects for all electrical needs including high voltage operations. Our focus is on commercial & industrial projects, however, don’t let this stop you from reaching out to us.

 

For those who aren’t aware, you may be sitting here pondering ‘what is the difference between contracting and sub-contracting?’

 

A contractor is hired by a company for a set fee and, usually, for a set duration of time. The next part comes from contractors.

 

A sub-contractor is usually hired by a contractor for project-related work and other business-as-usual functions.

 

In this post, we have listed the top 5 mistakes some contractors make in the electrical field; which just goes to show we do not make these mistakes. However, if you do make these mistakes, it’s never too late to stop making these and start making a difference!

 

Mistake 1: Safety & Zero Faults

 

Unfortunately, there are various companies in the market who make mistakes; and not adhering to safety is a big no-no. Here at M1&Co, we pride ourselves on safety and zero faults.

 

Mistake 2: No Social Presence

 

We live in the day & age of social media. This appears to be a validator for many areas; especially business. You can find us on Facebook by clicking here.

 

Mistake 3: No Testimonials

 

What’s the best way you can forecast a job without immediately reaching out to a company? Reviews and testimonials. One common mistake contractors and sub-contractors make is not posting testimonials. You can find our testimonials via our website and Facebook.

 

Mistake 4: Too Much to Handle

 

While many people take pride in their work, contractors can sometimes under-forecast their job and feel their pride screaming when reaching out to sub-contractors. There is no shame in reaching out for help when it’s needed.

 

Mistake 5: Forecasting

 

Surprisingly, many contractors and sub-contractors fail to set a plan and set reasonable targets/forecasts. The team here at M1&Co don’t make this mistake. Planning, milestones, and objectives are second-nature to us.

 

M1&Co can help you every step of the way with mid-large projects in NSW as well as Australia-wide provided the project is large enough.
