Builders Great Torrington

Builder Great Torrington Devon (EX38): There are so many construction companies and builders in and near to Great Torrington that it can be something of a challenge to choose the right one for your specific needs. From specialist building contractors, house builders, to general builders; how can you possibly know which one to choose? To assist you in finding the best Great Torrington building contractor for your project here are some useful tips and advice to set you on the right path.

The building company you hire in Great Torrington should be reliable, qualified and professional regardless of the extent of the building project you are expecting them to complete. Friends and neighbours are a good place to start to get suggestions for a quality builder. A builder who's good "by word of mouth" testimonials is one to put on your shortlist of possible companies to get a quote from.

If there is no-one who can provide you with a good endorsement then you will have to search for an experienced Great Torrington building contractor through experts in the industry. The Federation of Master Builders holds a list of members who come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance supported warranty as standard. This reassurance can be crucial during a nerve-racking construction project, especially when problems are encountered.

You will want to prepare a few things before asking a builder in Great Torrington for a job quote. If your project isn't made clear, it can be extremely difficult for any building company to supply an accurate quotation. You could of course use a builder to oversee the planning and design of the building works, however for smaller building tasks it's best to have your specifications ready and prepared when you first get in touch with a building contractor.

If you have architect's drawings, you need to make photocopies and give them to any Great Torrington builders supplying a price quote, along with a detailed written summary. By having these documents ready it sets out a defined plan which a decent contractor will be able to use as a template for the project. Along with a detailed estimate the building contractor should also specify an approximate timeline to complete the work.

Price quotes can vary considerably, however if there is one that is much cheaper than the rest you should ask the builder to clarify why this is the case and to make sure that they have fully understood your expectations. If they cannot give a convincing answer or break down the costs to explain the quote, then it might be best to look at a different builder, even if they are a bit more expensive.

As soon as you have received all the estimates, do not be in a hurry to pick a builder in Great Torrington; sleep on it and the next day go over all the price quotes once more to cover all your bases. A price quote might not itemise every aspect of the build, but there ought to be a list of stages in the construction, and you're searching for stuff that hasn't been included in the initial estimate. If there's no listing on your quotation for waste removal, for instance, you need to ask them if this is included at no extra charge. Any building waste has to be removed and disposed of correctly and if it isn't included in the initial estimate you need to ask who's liable for the clean-up of the site on completion.

You might also need to confirm any fixtures and fittings you require for your build are to your specifications. Things like this must be stipulated on your written brief and accordingly quoted for by your builder. If you have made specific demands you might need to confirm that these are reflected in your estimate.

Okay, so you have found a price quote you're satisfied with and you are ready to appoint your builder. Before any actual physical work starts the builder should draw up a contract for the protection of you both. This will include things like clearance of the site before work starts (yours or their responsibility), specific fittings or fixtures, the materials to be used and where to store them on site, and the doing any "snagging" during and at the conclusion of the project. The contract should declare the warranty period that you get and exactly what the guarantees by the builder cover with regards to their work and/or materials used on the project.

If you have agreed on a payment schedule, this will be mentioned in the contract. If you're requested to pay a deposit you need to be cautious about paying substantial amounts of cash to a builder before any construction work has commenced. Bigger building projects are normally paid for in phases, and you will only pay on the completion of each stage when you are satisfied that the stage has been carried out successfully.

A snag list of any faults can be made during the final inspection of the finished project by the builder and the client. A common sense approach is required by both parties when dealing with this list, and it should conform to the formal contract that was agreed and signed at the beginning of the project. A final inspection isn't used to pick fault with the standard of the work, but is done to deal with any concerns over the outcome of the building project and how to fix them. The final payment should be made when all work has been completed, any snags have been rectified and site waste has been removed (if included in contract).

Good communication between you and the builder is essential to keep a construction project running smoothly. You always need to be willing to discuss any changes in or problems with your project with your builders, and you need to do so the instant something arises. The longer that you leave something to fester, the more difficult it is for the builders to rectify and establishing a good rapport from the start is crucial.

It is possible that you'll be living and in close dialogue with the building contractors on a daily basis for a period of time, on a larger construction project. Having confidence and trust in the builder's qualifications, experience and skills can mean that this extra stress is a little bit easier to live with. An immense help in accomplishing this is reviewing their memberships, qualifications and accreditations of trade associations.

In the building trade there are a number of professional bodies that supply training in building skills and project management for all levels of the building workforce. Membership schemes exist through more than 30 organisations highlighting qualifications and individual expertise, or to substantiate the reliability and professionalism of a building company. The most widely acknowledged membership schemes to watch out for in the construction industry are:

The Federation of Master Builders - Many individual contractors and building companies at all skill levels will have affiliation with the Federation of Master Builders, and follow their guidelines and recommendations for the building industry. Not only does the FMB provide insurance and guarantees for the work of its membership, they also offer a useful conflict resolution service that provides unbiased assistance to both client and builder if there should be any unresolved fall-outs.

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) is a Government recognised card which all members of the building workforce, from apprentices to senior executives, has to hold in order to work in the construction industry. To hold a CSCS card a worker has to first pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment course and provide written evidence of their skills and qualifications in the construction industry.

There are a number of variously coloured cards included in the CSCS scheme, with each colour pinpointing a different skill or qualification level of the holder. To gather more information about the CSCS scheme and the roles and responsibilities of the different coloured cards you could pop along to their website.

The Construction Industry Council - The Construction Industry Council is the largest of the building industry's trade organisations with over 25,000 construction consultants and more than 500,000 building professionals amongst its members. The vast majority of people with CIC membership hold responsible and skilled roles in the construction industry, such as site managers, building company executives and technical consultants.
