Lake Martin is bustling with developers, builders, sub contractors, and all types of people in the construction industry. To shed some light on the life of one of the "good ones," today we chat with Bradley Pemberton of Landmark Construction & Development, LLC:
1. How do you get your sub contractors to show up on time?
I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere. Seriously, I think it has to do with a number of things. First you have to know what "on time" means - proper expectations. You have to know what their work schedule will be on each project, because it will be different depending on the sub and job location. More importantly, I think if you're honest, pay them quickly, and accept their bid without trying to beat them down, they will respect you more and work as hard and be as productive as they can.
2. Where do you find sub contractors that will work on Lake Martin?
These days subs will come from all over to work on Lake Martin. I like to deal with those whom I know best and already understand their schedules and quality of work. So I will first choose subs that I like to work with that are based closest to the area. For me that means Wetumpka, Eclectic, and Montgomery. However it is easy to find subs in Alexander City and Birmingham.
