NFR in Your Vendor Mix
Adding NFR to your approved vendor list makes sense if:
- You want inspection work opportunities
- You're diversifying your national relationships
- NFR has activity in your market
- You meet their quality requirements
A diverse client mix (multiple nationals plus local clients) creates a more stable, resilient business than depending on any single company.
Building a Multi-National Business
Most successful preservation contractors work with multiple nationals:
- Safeguard - Largest volume
- Five Brothers - Strong Midwest presence
- MCS - Technology focus
- Cyprexx - Growing company
- NFR - Inspection strength
Each company serves different clients and has different geographic strengths. Working with multiple nationals ensures steady work regardless of any single company's volume fluctuations.
The key to managing multiple relationships is organization—having systems to track work orders, deadlines, and documentation requirements for each client. This is where property preservation software like Hayvee becomes essential for growth.
