“AF responded positively to what we had asked. It was also our experience that the management was extremely credible and we could see that they wanted to be involved,” says Yngvar Sommerstad of Høienhald Invest AS.
The competition was tough in the selection of a general contractor for the expansion of the Bjørnson Quarter in Moss, but ultimately the choice fell to AF.
Emphasises position and reputation
Høienhald lays emphasis on the following when looking for a contractor:
- the position of the contractor in the market
- the reputation the contractor has won
- the dependability they display
- the degree of openness and availability they show
“The relationships you have or those you intend to develop through the cooperation are very important for the companies and the individuals involved”, says Yngvar Sommerstad.
The ability to understand ordinary problems
“It is also very important to look at the ability of the company to fully understand and appreciate the problems we often meet. This is something we builders are very focussed on”.
“And we of course also look at previously completed projects”, he concludes.
