Info

5Hammer.com is an evaluation and ranking marketplace that has been designed specifically for commercial construction professionals to view and submit evaluations on other companies within the industry. The current construction environment rewards the "lowest bid" firm, yet does not address other important factors (work history, time management, quality and craftsmanship, communication skills, etc.) in deciding which firms would be most suitable for a project. 5Hammer will provide solutions for these important factors. The dynamic information found on 5Hammer.com will allow firms to decrease the difficulty in choosing what companies to do business with, while at the same time helping to maximize productivity and making business more efficient. Project Owners can gain insight of how well an architect puts plans together, who might be the best General Contractor to use, and what city/state inspector would be the best to work with for a certain type of project. Architects / Engineers will be able to access information to find the top rated contractors to bid on their plans. General Contractors can find out if a project owner is reputable, if the architect's plans are of high quality, and which subcontractors would be the best to invite for bids. Subcontractors will be able to share with the world which G.C. pays their bills and communicates professionally through all construction phases, which architects know the industry and produce complete plans, and what cities need to be watched (for difficult inspection processes.) Inspectors / Testing Companies will be able to have a basic working history of who they are working with and to follow up and evaluate how their practices influence the outcome of a project.
