Builders Leatherhead

Builder Leatherhead Surrey (KT22): With such a lot of builders and contractors to select from in the Leatherhead area, it can be pretty tricky to pick the right one for your construction project. Do you need a general builder, a specialist building contractor or a house builder for your project, and how will you know which one to choose? To find the best Leatherhead builder for your precise needs, below are some useful tips and advice.

Whatever the size of your building assignment; a basement restoration, an extension to your house, a complete house build or just a new garden wall, you want a professional, reliable and qualified Leatherhead building contractor to carry out the work. The initial thing you could do is ask family and friends for recommendations. If your family or friends have had building work undertaken and they're pleased with the result, then that's the best recommendation for any builder.

The next best way to find an experienced Leatherhead builder is to ask experts within the industry. A list of reliable independent builders and building companies is held by the Federation of Master Builders, who back each member with an insurance backed warranty and guarantees for any construction work they do. When things go wrong on a construction project, this insurance and peace of mind from the FMB can prove to be invaluable.

It's advisable to prepare details about your project before you ask any building contractors in Leatherhead for an estimate. A precise quotation can only be put together if you set out in detail the scope and requirements of your building project. If it's quite a large construction project you can ask your building contractor to oversee all stages of the work, from management and planning to full construction works, whilst more modest building tasks should give you the scope to come up with your own designs and ideas prepared to give to a contractor in order to get a precise quotation.

If you have architectural drawings, you need to make copies and give them to any Leatherhead builder providing an estimate, as well as a detailed written summary of the work. By following this process you'll both be clear about the envisioned result of your project. When you obtain your quotation you will usually also be handed an approximate timeline for your project.

Quotations can fluctuate significantly, but if there are a couple that are much lower than the rest you should get the builder to clarify why this is so and to check that they fully understand your requirements. If you don't get a reasonable response it might be better to move on to another builder and dodge potential issues and stress resulting from possible increasing costs as the build proceeds.

Once you've got all the estimates in, do not be in a rush to choose a builder in Leatherhead; sleep on it and the following day you can double check all of the job quotes again just to be on the safe side. Pay special attention to what ISN'T included in the total price. For instance, certain builders may reduce the quote by not including waste removal from the site at the end of the project. The debris and rubble from any building work has to be disposed of in a safe and responsible way, in line with local legislation, and this can be an expensive extr outlay if it's not listed in the quote.

If you've got a particular design or style you want for any fittings and fixtures for your building project in Leatherhead, these should also be included and itemised in the estimate. Seeing that specific styles will need to be procured from various retailers, your written summary should have as much detail as possible regarding the accessories you've chosen, to enable the builder the information to present you with an accurate quote. If you've made particular demands you may need to verify that these are replicated in the quotation.

So, you have made your mind up, you have a job quote that you are satisfied with and you have appointed your building contractor. Before any actual physical work begins the builder should draft a contract for the protection of you both. This will very likely include items such as; removal of building waste and rubbish, specific fittings or fixtures, what materials are to be used, and there should also be a resolution for any issues or snags. It should also discuss any agreed warranty period and what the guarantee covers in regards to building work and materials.

This contract will also explain when and how payments need to be made for the work in question. If you are asked for a deposit you should be wary of paying large sums of cash to any builder before work commences. Installments should only be paid when each stage of a building project has been finished, and then only if you're happy with the quality of the work.

A snag list of any faults can be done during the final inspection of the completed project by the client and builder. A common sense approach is necessary by both parties when managing this list, and it should conform to the formal contract that was agreed at the beginning of the project. As both sides carry out a final building inspection there needs to be a mutual agreement to any snagging list and a discussion should take place as to how any faults will be remedied. When the site has been cleared of materials and tools, all work is finished and the snag list has been done, the final payment for the job can be made.

Good communication between the builder and you is important if you are to keep a building project running nicely. If you notice an issue, or something you'd like to change throughout the project, speak to your builder immediately. If you've got a good line of communication with the builder you're less inclined to wait around for the "right" time to speak to them, especially as the longer a problem is left, the more complicated it is to correct.

You could on a day to day basis be living in close proximity with your building team for some time if the project is a large one. Having confidence and trust in you Leatherhead builder's experience, skills and qualifications can mean that this extra stress is a little bit easier to bear. You can do this by taking a look at a builder's memberships and affiliations of trade organisations, and asking what experience and qualifications their workforce has.
