10 Tips to Find the Right Builder

10 Tips to Find the Right Builder

At Bhangals Construction Consultants we love adding value and something people always want to know is how to make sure you find a quality, reliable builder. Your project is important to you and trusting the people putting it into practice is vital. Here's my top 10 tips to find the perfect builder:

1. If you have family or friends that have had similar work done it is always worth asking for positive referrals and contact these builders

2. It is always worth checking reviews online (Google/Facebook)

3. It is worth checking if they are part of any trade associations if so which ones and how many

4. You should always ask for references from other clients and ensure the work done at these client’s properties are of similar scope, spec and size

5. You should see how long the company has been trading this can be found on companies’ house

6. Credit check the company to ensure they are financial stable

7. Go and visit previous projects and ensure you are happy with the quality

8. Ensure they provide a fully detailed quotation for the works with a detailed list of qualifications, assumptions and exclusions.

9. Ensure they are willing to sign up to a JCT contract

10. Ask them when they can start the project, there will be a lead in time for most good builders (in some circumstances they may have had a cancellation and may be able to get you in quicker)

Hopefully these tips can help you find the perfect builder for your project.
