Builders Gateshead

Builder Gateshead Tyne and Wear (NE8): Picking out the right builder for your Gateshead based building project can prove to be challenging with the large number on offer. How can you possibly decide on which general builder, specialist building contractor or house builder to employ? To find the right Gateshead builder for your precise needs, here are some useful advice and tips.

It doesn't matter if you're building your own home, remodeling a cellar, having an extension built or some other project, your Gateshead building contractor must be reliable, professional and suitably qualified to complete the task. Firstly you can do is ask friends and family for recommendations. If your neighbours or friends have had building work carried out and they're satisfied with the result, then you could hardly get a more resounding advertisement for any builder.

If there is no-one who can provide you with a decent recommendation then you'll need to look for a reliable Gateshead building contractor through experts in the industry. A list of trusted independent builders and building companies is held by the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), who endorse each signed up member with an insurance backed warranty and guarantees for any construction work that they do. An approved FMB building company should give you the confidence in the knowledge that your project will be successfully completed even when problems occur, or unexpected delays in construction are taking place.

Before requesting a quotation from a building company in Gateshead you will need to have some details prepared beforehand. If the project is not made clear, it becomes very difficult for any building contractor to supply you with a definitive quote. You could obviously use your builder to oversee the management and design of the project, however for modest building jobs it is better to have your details ready when you first get hold of a building company.

If you've got any architectural drawings, you should make copies and pass them to any Gateshead builders providing a quote, along with an in-depth written summary. By doing this you're outlining your precise requirements from the outset. Any quotation you receive will also come with an estimated timeframe to complete the build.

Certain Gateshead builders will naturally quote a lower price than others, but you need to ask yourself how they're able to accomplish this without corner-cutting or using substandard materials. As a prospective customer you are within your rights to ask for a credible explanation and receive a break down of the costs, and if the builder is unwilling or unable to provide this it might be better to be safe than sorry and consider a different company for the job.

Before opting for which Gateshead building company to use have a final read through of their estimates. You should pay special attention to anything that's NOT included in the final price offered. For example, certain building companies might reduce the estimated costs by not including waste removal from the site at the end of the work. All building waste has to be disposed of properly and if it isn't included in the quotation you have to ask who's responsible for the site clean-up on completion.

If you have a particular style or design you would like for any fittings and fixtures for your construction project in Gateshead, these should be included and highlighted the quote. This is something that needs to be made clear on your written brief that is given to the builder to enable him to procure these accessories and include them in their quote. If you've made specific demands you may need to confirm these are replicated in your estimate.

Okay, so you've found an estimate that you are satisfied with and you are now ready to hire your builder. A contract should be written up by the building company to specify the specifics of the work. This could include items such as; specifics of fixtures and fittings, removal of building waste and rubbish, materials, 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 exactly what the guarantees from the builder cover with regards to their work or/and materials that are used in the project.

The contract will also specify when and how payments should be made for the building work in question. It's possible that you might be asked for a small deposit, however you should never pay out any substantial amounts of money prior to work starting. Payments should only be made when each stage of a building project is completed, and only if you are happy with the work.

A final inspection should be made between the client and the builder and any items that need to be put right, or details overlooked throughout the construction stage should be written down. This snagging list should pinpoint any problems that need rectification in line with the terms of the contract that was agreed by both sides before work started. Both parties need to be open to the other's viewpoint and be willing to offer a solution so that everyone can feel satisfied with the final result. The final payment for the job should be made when site waste has been removed (if part of the contract), all work has been finished and any snags have been rectified.

If you develop good lines of communication between yourself and the builder, you're taking a big step towards the smooth running of your building project. If you happen to find a problem, or something you want to alter during the project, talk to your builder right away. It gets far more difficult to put something right the longer it is left to fester, and you will both benefit from good communication from the outset.

You might be living in close contact on a day to day basis with your building team for some time if the project is a large one. It's crucial that you've got confidence and trust in your Gateshead builder and whose knowledge of the construction industry and familiarity with your kind of project is completely reliable. Any accreditations, memberships and qualifications held by the builders from trade organisations can help reassure you.

In the building trade there are a number of professional organisations that provide training in building skills and project management for all sections of the building workforce. Membership schemes are available through over 30 associations to put the spotlight on qualifications and individual expertise, or to substantiate the professionalism and excellence of building companies throughout the UK. The most widely acknowledged membership schemes to watch out for within the building industry are:

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - To be permitted to work on any construction site or be employed by a building company, an individual has to hold a card issued by Construction Skills Certification Scheme. To hold a CSCS card a worker has to first pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test and produce written evidence of their expertise and qualifications with regard to the building and construction industry.

The CSCS cards are issued in various different colours to signify the different qualifications and levels of expertise within the trade of the card holder. You will be able to locate more information and see the different roles and cards on the CSCS website.

The Construction Industry Council - With approximately 500,000 building professionals and approximately 25,000 construction consultants among its membership, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) is the largest trade association within the building industry.

The Federation of Master Builders - As stated earlier, the FMB (Federation of Master Builders) is a leading association that sets industry standards in the building trade for personnel at all levels.
