Thanks to its reputation as a quality builder that completes work on time and pays subcontractors promptly, Cooper has its pick of the best subcontractors in the area. On a typical design/build project, Cooper will contact at least three proven subcontractors in each category, and may contact twice that number, however, only those capable of taking on yet another project are considered. Carefully selected, quality subcontractors are invited to price a Cooper job, and company officials draw on four decades of experience in making their choices. All other factors being equal, the subcontractor offering the most economical price will be chosen for the project.

When jobs are handled through traditional channels – not design/build – Cooper analyzes the subcontractors submitting bids on a project. Then, only dependable subcontractors are used, regardless of low bid. And, when the project is a large one, Cooper may require that subcontractors be bonded, for the protection of both the owner and the general contractor.

Cooper takes pride in guaranteeing customers the best subcontractors for their job, and holds these subcontractors to the same high standards as its own employees. Everyone working on a Cooper job must uphold the company’s standards for quality, safety and performance.
