Where Do Companies Find Property Preservation Contractors?

business_directory

One of the most aggravating problems for companies looking for contractors is the time involved in finding contractors. Some companies scan user groups and social sites while other companies do nothing more than search the internet.

We hope we have solved this problem for the companies while at the same time giving an important resource for contractors. We now have a national database for contractors to publish their services at www.PropertyPreservationContractors.com.

Contractors can enter, edit or remove their listing – they have complete control of the content of their listing and can stop or start their listing at will as the listing are on a month-to-month subscription basis.

Gulf Thunder Corporation will be responsible for promotion of the site as well as ongoing promotion of individual contractors listed at the site.

Contractor listings are available now – the site is online and internet promotions are underway. The site is based on an earlier design which received in excess of 1,000 inquiries per month for contractor information and we expect the new design to have even more contractor information requests due to its new structure and popularity. We encourage all contractors to take advantage of the start-up price being offered now.

How do you determine the number of units in a property?

ppt_units

HUD Regulations do not define a unit. The dictionary definition of unit is:
“a self-contained section of accommodations in a larger building or group of buildings that may contain food preparation or sanitary facilities, or both.”

Without specifics in the regulations, the industry normally defines a single family residence as one unit. Some contractors report that they use the number of water heaters as the number of units and some contractors charge for extra “units” when the single family residence has more than two bathrooms.

Can I include a trip charge fee for the drive time to property sites?

ppt_tripcharge

A trip charge is allowed only when traveling to a property in order to submit a bid. Travel to the property for work is not allowed because HUD regulations state that all of these expenses are included in the fee for the work.

Some of the greediest companies actually will subtract a previously approved trip charge payment from the fee paid on work you completed as a result of submitting the original trip charge and bid.
