Builder East Malling Kent (ME19): With such a diversity of builders and building contractors to select from in the East Malling area, it can be a hard choice in picking out the right one for your proposed building project. Should you use a house builder, a specialist building contractor or a general builder for your project, and how will you know which to choose? To help you out, below are some advice and tips on finding the best East Malling builder at a decent price.

Whatever the size of your building venture; a basement refurbishment, an extension to your house, a full house build or even a garden wall, you want a reliable, professional and qualified East Malling building contractor to carry out the job. First of all you could do is ask family and friends for recommendations. If your friends or neighbours have previously had building work undertaken and they are pleased with how the work went, then you could hardly get a more resounding recommendation for any building company.

If there is nobody that can supply you with a good recommendation then you'll need to look for a reliable East Malling building contractor through industry experts. A list of reliable and professional independent builders and building contractors is held by the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), who back each member with an insurance backed warranty and guarantees for any work they do. This sort of reassurance can be invaluable during a stressful and nerve-racking construction project, particularly when things don't go to plan.

Before requesting an estimate from a building contractor in East Malling you will want to have certain details ready in advance. If the building project isn't made crystal clear, it becomes very difficult for any builder to supply you with a definitive quotation. You ought to be able to come up with some dimensions and designs for smaller building tasks, a garden wall for example, but if it is a larger project you can ask your builder for help right from the design and planning stage right through to project management and completion.

If you've got architectural drawings, you should make copies and give them to any East Malling builders supplying a quotation, together with an in-depth written summary. By doing this you're setting out your exact requirements right from the outset. When you obtain your quotation you will usually also be handed a rough timeframe for the project.

If you get a quote which is substantially cheaper than the rest, take a moment to consider why this is and ask yourself how they would be able to work for that price level without cutting corners on labour or materials. If they can't break down the costs or give a compelling answer to explain the quotation, then it might be better to consider a different building contractor, even if they happen to be a little more expensive.

Before picking out which East Malling building company to employ have a final look over their quotes. A quotation may not itemise every part of the project, but there ought to be a checklist of stages in the construction, and you are looking for stuff that hasn't been included in the first estimation. Some builders may not itemise rubble and building waste removal as an example. This has to be removed and disposed of in a responsible way and should you find it is not part of the estimate then you should find out why.

You might also need to verify any fixtures and fittings you want for your build are to your exact specifications. This is something that ought to be clarified on your original written summary that is given to the builder to allow him to procure the items and make sure they're included in the estimate. Should you feel at all uncertain about any part of the quote with regard to your fixtures and fittings, now is a good time to raise questions and ensure that you won't have any unwanted surprises once the building work commences.

So, you have made your mind up, you've got a quotation that you're happy with and you've appointed your your chosen East Malling building contractor. Before any physical work commences your builder should write up a contract that protects both of you. This contract will be distinct to your job and could deal with areas like removal of building waste and rubbish, details of fixtures and fittings, materials, and what will be done if there any delays in or issues with the project. It should in addition give details of any warranty period and what the guarantee covers in respect of materials and building work.

It may also set out the payment method for the project. It is possible that you might be asked for a deposit, but do not pay out any significant amounts of money before the work starts. Installments should only be paid when each phase of a building project is completed, and then only when you are happy with the quality of the work.

A snag list of any minor faults can be gathered together during the final inspection of the completed project by the builder and client. The list should be handled with a common sense approach from both sides, and should adhere to the contract that was agreed at the start of the project. Each side needs to be accepting of the other's viewpoint and be willing to offer a solution so that everyone can feel pleased with the building works completion. Only when any snags have been made good and all work is finished to your satisfaction, should the final payment be given to the builder.

Good communication between the builder and you is essential to keep a building project running nicely. If there is something you want to modify, or you notice an issue developing you need to have a word with the building contractor ASAP. It will become far more difficult to correct an issue the longer it's left to fester, and you'll both appreciate good communication from the start.

For larger projects you have to understand that you will be working closely with your builder on a daily basis. Having trust and confidence in the builder's experience, skills and qualifications can make this extra stress that little bit easier to live with. A great help in achieving this can be gained by looking at their memberships, accreditations and qualifications of trade associations.
