For clients

References

Client references for NR Building Solutions — named contacts willing to take a call about their programme, published only with written permission.

References on request

Publishing a client's name requires their written permission, and an operator who discovers they were listed as a reference without being asked draws a reasonable conclusion about how we would treat the rest of their information.

How it works

Ask us. We will connect you with a client in a situation comparable to yours — similar portfolio size, similar work type, similar geography — and we will ask their permission before giving you their details.

That is a better reference than a logo wall, because you can ask the questions you actually have rather than reading a sentence somebody approved.

What to ask them

Four questions get you further than any case study:

  1. Did the schedule hold? Not whether the work was good — whether the dates were real.
  2. Was the scope the same on unit forty as on unit three? Consistency at volume is the thing that is hard, and it is where most contractors quietly degrade.
  3. What happened when something went wrong? Something always does. The answer to this question is the whole reference.
  4. Did the invoices reconcile to the purchase orders? A contractor whose invoices need reconciling is a monthly cost you will carry for the life of the relationship.

Ask us the same four about ourselves first, and see whether the answers match.

Common questions

Because publishing a client's name requires their written permission, and we do not have it yet for the clients we would want to name. A reference list assembled without permission is a problem for the client, not for us — and an operator who finds out they were listed without being asked draws the obvious conclusion about how we would treat their information.

Yes. Ask and we will connect you with a client in a comparable situation — similar portfolio size, similar work type — and we will ask their permission first. That is a better reference than a logo wall anyway, because you can ask them the questions you actually have.

Whether the schedule held, whether the scope was the same on unit forty as on unit three, what happened when something went wrong, and whether the invoices reconciled to the purchase orders. Those four answers tell you more than any case study.
