As much as I would like to have high quality when it comes to contractors, I cannot really afford it. Consequently I do no projects at all. The kinds of things I would be interested in a contractor for are more of a luxury than a necessity. So, is there a creative way that you could address the price issue that none of your competitors can match? What drives the price - materials or labor? One of the things that can lower construction costs is pre-fab in your workshop. What could you do to pre-fab things that are currently impossible to pre-fab? What if you came to the customers's site and made 3-D scans with millimeter level precision. Could you then take that back to the workshop and accurately fab things? So if you did all of these things you wouldn't position yourself as a "contractor" per se, you would be a service-oriented high-speed precision engineering firm, that just happens to be price competitive. Good luck!
