Builders Ferndown

Builder Ferndown Dorset (BH22): With such a lot of building contractors and construction companies to choose from in the Ferndown area, it can be a hard choice in picking out the best one for your proposed construction project. Should you use a house builder, a specialist in one form of construction skills or just a general builder for your assignment, and how should you go about choosing? To find the best Ferndown builder for your specific needs, here are some helpful tips and advice.

It makes no difference if you are having an extension built, upgrading a cellar, building your own home or any other project, your Ferndown builder must be reliable, professional and suitably qualified to carry out the task. First of all you can do is ask family and friends for suggestions. A builder who's good "by word of mouth" recommendations is one to add to your list of possible companies to ask for an estimate.

If there is no-one who can provide you with a good recommendation you'll have to look for a professional Ferndown builder via the industry experts. The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) has a list of signed-up members that all come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance endorsed warranty as standard. When stuff goes wrong on a construction project, this insurance and peace of mind from the FMB can turn out to be vital.

Before requesting a job quote from a building firm in Ferndown you will need to have certain details prepared in advance. If your construction project is not made clear, it becomes very difficult for any builder to provide you with an accurate quotation. You could of course use a builder to oversee the planning and management of your project, but for more modest building tasks it's wise to have your requirements ready when you first get in touch with a building company.

If you have architect's drawings, you need to make photocopies and give them to any Ferndown builders providing an estimate, along with an in-depth written summary of the work. By having this paperwork ready it establishes a defined plan which a professional building contractor will be able to use as a template for the project. Along with a detailed estimate your builder will also be able to set out a rough timescale to complete the building works.

If you are given an estimate which is much cheaper than the rest, take some time to consider how this can be and ask yourself how they can do the job for that amount without skimping on labour or materials. As a prospective customer you are perfectly within your rights to ask for a suitable explanation and receive a break down of the costs given, and if the builder is unable or unwilling to provide this it may be in your best interests to look at a different company for the project.

As soon as you have received all the estimates, do not be in a hurry to decide on a builder in Ferndown; sleep on your decision and the next day you can check over all the quotations once again to cover all your bases. Pay particular attention to what ISN'T included in the total price. If there's no entry on your quotation for building waste and rubble removal, for example, you must ask them if this will be included for no additional fee. This has to be removed and disposed of in a responsible and ethical fashion and if you find it is not part of the quote you need to ask why.

You may also need to double check that any fittings and fixtures you require for your project are to your specifications. Things like this must be stipulated on your original written brief and accordingly quoted for by the builder. If you feel at all uncertain about any aspect of the quote with regard to your accessories, now is a good time to raise questions and ensure that you won't get any unwanted surprises during the build.

Okay, so you've found an estimate that you're satisfied with and you're now ready to hire your builder. A contract should now be written up by the building company to specify the details of the undertaking. This could include points such as; specific fixtures or fittings, materials, responsibilities in clearing the site before work commences and on completion, and there should also be an entry for resolving any snags or issues. The contract should set out what warranty period you may have and what the guarantees from the builder cover in relation to their work or/and materials used in the project.

This contract will also set out how and when payments need to be made for the work in question. If you are requested to pay a deposit you need to be cautious about paying out substantial amounts of money to any builder before the work has even started. Installments should only be paid when each part of a project is completed, and then only if you're happy with the work.

A final inspection should be carried out between the builder and the client and any items that need to be put right, or items missed through the building phase should be documented. This snag list should point out any minor issues that need rectification in accordance with the terms of the contract that was signed by both parties before construction work started. A final inspection doesn't have the objective of picking fault with the work, but is carried out to address any concerns about the completed building project and the means by which to correct them. 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.

If you establish a good line of communication between yourself and the builder, you're establishing a good foundation in the smooth and efficient running of your project. If there's something you wish to alter, or you see a problem coming to light you need to have a word with the building contractor as soon as possible. The longer that you leave a problem to fester, the harder it is for the builders to rectify and establishing a good rapport from the start is important.

For bigger construction projects you must realise that you'll be in close cooperation with your builder on a daily basis. Having trust and confidence in you Ferndown builder's skills, experience and qualifications can make this extra stress that little bit easier to handle. You can do this by reviewing your building company's memberships and affiliations of professional bodies, and enquiring about precisely what experience and qualifications their workers have.
