When it comes to selecting vendors, many times it is by bidding or referrals. Deciding which vendors to use is critical and can make or break a project. It’s important to choose reliable vendors and contractors who deliver quality work. The vetting process is imperative to effectively manage risk and ensure quality service delivery.
