Many church congregations determine their General Contractor through a selection process rather than a bid process.  Through personal interviews, your building committee and staff can determine the contractor's

• past performance
• financial & bonding capabilities
• management resources & experience
• record of finishing projects on time (or early)
• quality of workmanship
• industry reputation
• and years in business

Using this information the committee can determine their General Contractor with confidence and trust in the firm selected.

When all facts are considered, RGS is the consistent choice of church memberships.

Many clients, because of a bond of trust with the Strickland team, have elected to use a contractual agreement known as "Cost of the Work, Plus a Fee."  When establishing this type of a relationship, the owner pays Strickland's actual cost plus a mutually agreeable fee that is based upon the size, scope, and location of the project.  The project is still bid and competitively priced.

The client is continually updated so that he can make informed decisions about the direction of the project and the most efficient use of his construction dollars.

This close communication between client and contractor also ensures a ready flexibility for changes.  Project costs are thus kept on track so that the job is completed within budget, or, in most cases, at a savings.
