Builders Liverpool

Builder Liverpool Merseyside (L1): Choosing the right builder for your Liverpool based building project can be tricky with so many available. Should you use a house builder, a specialist in one form of construction skills or just a general builder for your assignment, and how will you know which to choose? To assist you in finding a building contractor for your venture below are some useful tips and guidance to set you on your way.

It matters not if you are having an extension built, building your own home, upgrading a cellar or some other project, your Liverpool builder must be reliable, professional and qualified to carry out the task. Friends and family are a good place to get recommendations for a good builder. If they're pleased with a builder they've used then put them on your shortlist because you'll need to get more than one estimate for the work.

If there is nobody that can provide you with a decent endorsement you'll need to look for a trustworthy Liverpool building company through experts in the industry. A list of trusted builders and building contractors is held by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), who endorse each member with guarantees and an insurance based warranty for any work that they do. This kind of peace of mind can be invaluable during a stressful building project, particularly when problems are encountered.

Before requesting a price quote from a building firm in Liverpool you'll want to have certain details prepared in advance. They won't be able to come up with a definitive price if it's not crystal clear precisely what you need. You of course could use your builder to oversee the planning and management of the project, but for modest building jobs it is better to have your details ready and prepared when you first get hold of a building contractor.

Prepare a written summary of all your specifications along with copies of architect's drawings to give to all Liverpool builders who are presenting a job quote. That way you're outlining your exact requirements right from the outset. Along with an itemised quotation your builder will also lay down an approximate timescale to complete the work.

Quotes can fluctuate considerably, however if there is one that is much cheaper than the others you should get the builder to explain why this is so and to ensure that they fully understand your expectations. If they're unable to break down the costs or give an acceptable answer to explain the quotation, then it might be better to look at a different building contractor, even if they are somewhat more expensive.

Once you've got all the estimates in, you shouldn't be in a panic to decide on a building contractor in Liverpool; sleep on your decision and the next day go over all the quotes once more to cover all your bases. Pay special attention to anything that's NOT included in the total price. Some builders might not itemise building waste and rubble removal for example. The rubble and debris from any building work has to be disposed of in a safe and responsible way, in line with local regulations, and this can be an expensive extra if it's not listed in the final quote.

If you have a certain design or style you would like for any fixtures and fittings for your building project in Liverpool, these should also be allowed for in the estimate. This is something that needs to be made clear on your original written summary that is given to the builders to enable them to procure the items and include them in their quote. If the price quote does not specify your specifications you may find a substandard alternative being used to reduce costs.

As soon as you've chosen a builder and accepted their price quote there's one further bit of paperwork to get through. A contract should now be presented to you by the building firm to set out the details of the project. This contract will be unique to your particular building project and could deal with things like removal of building waste and rubbish, specifics of fixtures and fittings, what materials are to be used, and what will occur if there any delays in or problems with the work. It should additionally detail any agreed warranty period and what the guarantee covers in regards to materials and building work.

It could also set out the payment method for the project. The builder might want a deposit, although it is advised not to pay large cash payments in advance. Bigger building projects are usually paid for in stages, and you will pay on completion of each stage and only when you are happy that the stage has been carried out successfully.

A final inspection will be carried out by the builder and client and any work that needs to be put right, or items missed throughout the building phase should be written down. This list should be tackled with a common sense approach from both parties, and adhere to the formal contract that was agreed at the beginning of the project. As both parties complete a final inspection there should be a mutual agreement to the contents of the snagging list and a discussion should take place as to how any faults will be corrected. The final payment can be made once any snags have been made good, all the work has been completed and site waste has been removed (if part of the contract).

It is regrettable that a lot of construction projects go bad because of a lack of communication between customer and builder. If you discover a problem, or something you wish to modify throughout the project, talk to your builder right away. It gets much more difficult to correct an issue the longer it's left to fester, and you'll both appreciate good communication from the outset.

You could on a day to day basis be living in close contact and for some time with your building team if the construction project is a substantial one. It's crucial that you've got confidence and trust in your Liverpool builders and whose knowledge of the building trade and familiarity with your type of project is totally reliable. Any qualifications, memberships and accreditations held by your builders from industry professional organisations can help to ease your mind.

Within the construction industry there are many qualifications for project management, hands-on training and other construction and building related assistance from a range of different professional organisations. There are membership schemes provided by over thirty organisations to highlight qualifications and individual expertise, or to accentuate the professionalism and trustworthiness of a building company. Organisations that are highly regarded within the construction trade are:

The Federation of Master Builders - As stated earlier, the Federation of Master Builders is a leading association that sets industry standards in the building trade for workers of all types. FMB members can provide insurance cover for any work they do and also offer dispute resolution to find a satisfactory outcome for both contractor and customer in the event of any arguments.

The Construction Industry Council - The Construction Industry Council (CIC) has over 500,000 individual building professionals and more than 25,000 construction consultants in its membership. The CIC represents highly skilled technicians and management level individuals such as site managers, designers and technical consultants.

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - The CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is a Government endorsed card that all members of the building workforce, from senior executives down to trainees, has to hold in order to be able to work in the construction industry. The CSCS card shows competence in the CITB's Health, Safety and Environment exam as well as giving notice of the building and construction training and qualifications of the individual.

There are several different coloured cards in the CSCS scheme, with each one pinpointing a different skill or qualification level of the holder. More details can be found at the CSCS website.
