The building contractor you use in Lochgelly should be qualified, professional and reliable irrespective of the size of building project you are expecting them to accomplish. Start off by asking for recommendations from neighbours and friends. A builder who has good word of mouth recommendations is one to add to your shortlist of possible companies to get a quotation from.

Builders Lochgelly Scotland (KY5)

If you don't know anyone who can endorse or recommend a building contractor in Lochgelly then you could ask the professionals. The FMB (Federation of Master Builders) keeps a database of registered members that all come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance backed warranty as standard. When things sometimes go wrong on a building project, this reassurance from the Federation can prove to be crucial.

Before asking a building contractor in Lochgelly for a job quote you will want to have a few details prepared beforehand. If the construction project isn't made crystal clear, it can be very difficult for any builder to provide you with a definitive quote. You should be able to come up with some dimensions and designs of modest construction tasks, a garden wall for example, however if it's a much larger type of project you can ask your builder for help right from the planning and design stage right through to project management and completion.

You should have a written brief of your requirements as well as copies of architect's drawings to give to each Lochgelly builder who supplies a quotation. This way you're both clear about the expected result of the project. When you get your quote you should also be given an approximate timeline for your building project.

If you get a quotation that is much cheaper than the others, take a moment to contemplate how this can be and ask how they would be able to do the job for that price without taking shortcuts on materials or labour. If you don't get a satisfactory response then it might be safer to give the work to another builder and dodge potential problems and stress due to possible increasing costs as the build proceeds.

Do not make a rash decision in choosing builders in Lochgelly, or feel obligated into going for a particular one; an excellent rule is to wait for twenty four hours and look over each of the quotations once more. Pay special attention to anything that's NOT included in the total price. Certain building contractors may not itemise rubble and building waste removal for example. The debris and rubble from any construction work has to be disposed of in a safe and responsible way, in keeping with local legislation, and this can be an expensive extra if it isn't included in the initial quote.

You might also need to check that any fixtures and fittings you need for your project match up to your exact specifications. This is an issue that needs to be made clear on your written summary that is given to the builders to enable them to procure the items and include them in their quotation. If the quote doesn't specify your exact requirements you could finish up with a substandard alternative being used to cut costs.

So, you have made your mind up, you've got an estimate that you are satisfied with and you have gone ahead and appointed your chosen builder. A contract should be presented to you by the building company to specify details of the work. This should include stuff like responsibilities in clearing the site before work begins and after completion, details of fixtures and fittings, what materials are to be used, and the doing any "snagging" during and at the end of the project. There should also be mention of the guarantee and warranty period of any work.

If you've agreed upon a schedule and method of payment, this should also be stipulated in the contract. It is entirely possible you could be asked for a deposit, but you shouldn't pay out any significant sums of money prior to work starting. Larger construction projects are usually paid for in stages, and you'll pay on completion of each stage and only when you are satisfied that the stage has been completed successfully.

At the conclusion of any project there needs to be a final inspection of the work between the client and builder to ensure all construction work has been completed to a good standard and a snag list made up, if necessary. This snagging list should pinpoint any small problems that need rectifying in accordance with the terms of the contract that was signed by both sides before work began. Each party should be accepting of the other's viewpoint and be prepared to put forward a solution so that everybody can feel happy with the final outcome. Only when any snags have been put right and all work is completed to your satisfaction, should the final payment be given to the builder.

Builder Near Lochgelly Scotland

If you cultivate a good line of communication between yourself and the builder, you are setting a good foundation in the smooth and efficient running of your project. If there's something you wish to change, or you see an issue developing you need to have a word with the building contractor at once. The longer you leave a problem to fester, the more difficult it is for the building contractor to resolve and creating a good rapport from the start is crucial.

It is possible that you'll be living and in direct contact with your building company for a period of time and on a daily basis, on a larger construction project. It is essential that you have trust and confidence in your Lochgelly builders and whose understanding of the building trade and familiarity with your sort of project is entirely reliable.
