RJR Building General Contractor Augusta

We were not present for the bathroom at our summer camp, but because of thorough planning and great communication, our project turned out perfectly. Highly recommended and would use again in a heartbeat.

We do electrical work for RJR. He does good work and he is one of the contractors who we recommend to our customers. Quality work and a good crew.

I recently had the opportunity to work with a builder whose driving skills left much to be desired, leading me to ponder the age-old adage that bad drivers might also be bad builders. As I navigated through my experience with this individual, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between their driving habits and their building practices.

First impressions count, and the way a builder handles themselves on the road can set the tone for what to expect on the job site. Our builder, let’s call him Tom, was often seen swerving and making last-minute lane changes, which made me question his attention to detail and overall planning skills. Similarly, when he showed up to the job site, I noticed a similar lack of foresight. Projects seemed to be rushed, with materials ordered last minute and plans frequently altered without proper consultation.

Communication is key in both driving and building. A good driver signals their intentions clearly, while a good builder keeps open lines of communication with clients and subcontractors. Unfortunately, Tom struggled in both arenas. He rarely updated me on project progress, and when I did reach out, his responses were vague and unhelpful. This lack of clarity mirrored his driving style: often unpredictable, leaving me wondering what to expect next.

Moreover, just as a bad driver may neglect basic road safety, I found that Tom’s adherence to building codes and safety standards was questionable. There were instances where shortcuts were taken, and corners were cut, which made me uneasy about the integrity of the work being done. This behavior echoed his driving—speeding through residential areas without a care for the rules of the road or the safety of others.

In conclusion, while I wouldn’t say that all bad drivers make bad builders, my experience with Tom certainly made a strong case for the correlation. Attention to detail, communication, and adherence to safety standards are crucial in both driving and construction. Unfortunately, Tom fell short in all these areas, leaving me with a project that was filled with more stress than satisfaction. If you find yourself considering a builder whose driving leaves you anxious, it might be worth looking for someone whose skills behind the wheel match their proficiency on the job site.
