Builders Leigh-on-Sea

Builder Leigh-on-Sea Essex (SS9): Picking the best builder for your Leigh-on-Sea building project can prove to be quite hard with so many to choose from. From general builders, house builders, to specialist building contractors; how can you possibly know which one to choose? To assist you in finding a building contractor for your construction project below are some useful guidance and tips to set you on the right path.

Whatever the extent of your building assignment; a full house build, an extension to your house, a loft conversion or just a new garden wall, you want a reliable, professional and qualified Leigh-on-Sea building contractor to carry out the work. Neighbours and friends are a good place to get suggestions and recommendations for a top notch builder. If your friends or family have previously had building work undertaken and they're satisfied with the result, then that is the best recommendation for a builder.

If there is no-one that can offer you a good recommendation or endorsement you'll have to look for an experienced Leigh-on-Sea building contractor via the experts in the industry. You can locate independent builders and building contractors who are backed by guarantees and insurances on the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) list of approved contractors. If things happen to go wrong on a building project, this peace of mind and insurance from the Federation can turn out to be vital.

You'll need to get a few things prepared before asking a builder in Leigh-on-Sea for a quotation. A definitive quote can only be made if you explain in detail the requirements and scope of your construction project. If it's quite a large construction project you could ask a building company to oversee every stage, from planning and management to full construction, while more modest building tasks should enable you to have some designs and ideas to show a contractor in order to obtain an accurate quote.

If you have any architect's drawings, you need to make photocopies and hand them to any Leigh-on-Sea builder providing a price quote, in addition to a detailed written summary of the work. By having these documents ready it sets out a precise plan which an experienced builder will be able to use as a template for the undertaking. When you receive your quotation you should also be given a rough timeline for your building project.

Quotes can differ considerably, however if there are a couple that are much cheaper than the rest you must get the builder to explain why this is so and to make certain that they fully understand your expectations. If they are unable to give a suitable answer or a break down of the costs to explain the quote, then it may be advisable to look at a different builder, even if they happen to be a bit more expensive.

Don't make any rash decisions when choosing a building company in Leigh-on-Sea, or feel forced into picking a particular one; an excellent tip is to wait for 24 hours or so and look over all the estimates once more. Pay particular attention to what isn't included in the total price. Certain builders might not itemise building waste and rubble removal as an example. This must be removed and disposed of in a responsible and ethical fashion and should you discover that it's not part of the quotation then you should find out why.

Another item to look at is the design, finish and style of any fittings and fixtures that you might need. This should be stated on your original written brief and accordingly quoted for by your builder. If the quotation doesn't specify your fittings you may wind up with a cheaper option to cut costs.

Okay, you have found an estimate you're happy with and you're in a position to appoint your builder. A contract should be drawn up by the builder to specify the specifics of the project. This will include things like details of fixtures and fittings, what materials are to be used, clearance of the site before work commences (yours or their responsibility), and the making good of any snags during and at the end of the project. It should in addition give details of any warranty period and what any guarantees cover in regard to building work and materials.

The contract should also explain when and how payments should be made for the work in question. It is entirely possible that you may be asked for a small deposit, but you should never pay out any significant amounts of money prior to work beginning. Larger construction projects are generally paid for in phases, and you'll only pay on the completion of each stage when you are happy that the stage has been carried out correctly.

At the end of the project there needs to be a final inspection of the work involving the client and builder to make certain all work has been finished satisfactorily and a snagging list of minor faults compiled, if needed. A snag list is a way for a builder to rectify any minor issues discovered at the end of the project, and should be sorted out in line with the the contract that was signed by both sides. As both sides carry out a final inspection there needs to be a mutually acceptable agreement to any snagging list and a discussion should take place as to how any faults will be fixed. The final payment should be made when all work has been completed, site waste has been removed (if part of the contract) and any snags have been made good.

If you cultivate good lines of communication with your builder, you are taking a big step towards the smooth and efficient running of your project. At all times you need to be prepared to talk over any problems or changes in your project with the building company.. It becomes much more difficult to get right the longer it is left, and you'll both appreciate good lines of communication from the outset.

It is quite possible that you will be living and in close dialogue with the building company for a period of time and on a daily basis, on a substantial project. It is crucial that you have confidence and trust in your Leigh-on-Sea builders and whose knowledge of the construction industry and experience in your kind of project is completely reliable. Of great help in achieving this is by looking into their memberships, qualifications and accreditations of trade associations.
