Whatever the extent of your building venture; a complete house build, a property extension, a loft conversion or just a new garden wall, you want a reliable, professional and qualified Ackworth building contractor to do the work. First of all you should do is ask friends and neighbours for recommendations. A builder who has good word of mouth testimonials is one to add to your shortlist of possible contractors to get a quotation from.

In general, the next best way to locate a reliable Ackworth building company is to ask experts within the industry. You can find independent builders and building contractors who are supported by insurances and guarantees on the Federation of Master Builders list of endorsed builders. An approved FMB builder should give you the self-assurance in knowing that your project will be completed even when things appear to be going wrong, or unforeseen delays in construction are taking place.

Before asking a building company in Ackworth for an estimate you will need to have certain details ready in advance. They will not be able to come up with a definitive price if it isn't crystal clear exactly what you want. You should be able to come up with some designs and plans for modest building tasks, a garden wall for instance, but if it is a much larger kind of project you can ask your builder for assistance right from the design stage and all the way through project management and completion.

You should make photocopies of any architect's drawings or written design specifications and pass them on to any Ackworth builders you ask for a job quote. This way you're outlining your exact requirements right from the outset. When you get your estimate you should also be given an approximated timeline for your building project.

Quotes can fluctuate significantly, but if there are one or two much cheaper than the others you must get the builder to clarify why this is the case and to check they fully understand your needs. As a prospective client you're within your rights to ask for an acceptable explanation and receive an itemised break down of the costs, and if the builder is unwilling or unable to provide this it could be in your best interests to look at another contractor for the job.

Before picking out which Ackworth builder to employ have one last look over their job quotes. A quotation might not exactly break down every aspect of the build, however there ought to be a list of stages in the build process, and you're looking for any item that wasn't included in the first estimation. For instance, some builders might reduce the estimated costs by not adding waste removal at the end of the project. The rubble and debris from any building work must be removed and disposed of in a safe and controlled way, in keeping with local guidelines, and this can be a costly extra if it's not listed in the initial quote.

You may also need to ensure any fixtures and fittings you require for your project meet up with your specifications. This must be stated on your written summary and quoted for accordingly by the builder. If you've made particular demands you might need to confirm that these are replicated in your estimate.

So, you've made up your mind, you have a job quote you are satisfied with and you've hired your chosen Ackworth builder. To protect both parties' interests, the building company should supply you with a written contract to be signed before the real work starts. This should include such things as what materials are to be used, specific fixtures or fittings, clearance of the site before work starts, and the doing any "snagging" during and at the conclusion of the project. It should additionally discuss any warranty period and what the guarantee covers with regards to construction work and materials.

If you have come to an agreement on a payment method, this should also be stipulated in the contract, or the building contractor will specify when and how any payments will be made. It is entirely possible you might be asked for a deposit, however don't pay out any significant amounts of money prior to work commencing. Installments should only be paid when each stage of a project is completed, and only if you're happy with the work.

A final inspection should be made between the builder and client and any work that needs to be corrected, or items missed through the construction stage should be documented. A snagging list is a means by which a builder can correct any small problems found at the termination of the project, and should be in line with the the building contract that was agreed by both sides. As both sides carry out a final inspection there should be a mutually acceptable agreement to the contents of the snag list and explanations on how to correct any faults raised. The final payment for the job can be made when all the work has been completed, any snags have been put right and site waste has been removed (if part of the contract).

Good communication between yourself and the builder is essential to keep a construction project running nicely. If there is something you wish to change, or you notice an issue developing you need to talk to the building company as soon as possible. The longer that you leave a problem to fester, the more difficult it is for the building company to resolve and creating a good rapport from the outset is important.
