Choosing A Builder
Finding a good builder can be difficult and stressful when you've decided on home improvements or building work to be done. But there are some certain things you can do to lessen the stress and make the job of choosing the 'best fit' builder easier and more enjoyable.
Get Clear About The Results You Want
Before you talk to any builder, make sure you make a detailed plan of the work you want done. The more detailed your plan the easier it will be for your builder to understand exactly what you want. A great idea is to go online and find images of the kind of results you want, and then print them out, before meeting builders.
Another way is to just walk round your neighbourhood with a camera and take pictures of the kinds of building or renovation works you like the look of.
Doing this will help give you a clearer picture as well as make it easier for your builder to provide a more accurate estimate. It also helps smooth the relationship as both you and your builder are on the same page from the very beginning.
Get References
All reputable builders will be more than happy to provide you with references from previous clients. If your potential builder can't or won't provide them, then be wary about instructing them.
Using and implementing these simple tips upfront can save you and the builder you choose time, money and headaches further down the line, and make for a strong business relationship that provides the results you want in the time frames agreed.
