Builders Maidenhead

Builder Maidenhead Berkshire (SL6): With such a lot of building contractors and builders to select from in the Maidenhead area, it can be pretty tricky to pick the right one for your proposed construction project. How can you determine which specialist building contractor, house builder or general builder to employ? To assist you in finding a building contractor for your undertaking below are some helpful advice and tips to set you on your way.

It doesn't matter if you are redesigning a basement, building your own home, getting an extension built or any other project, your Maidenhead builder must be professional, reliable and adequately qualified to do the job. Friends and neighbours are a good place to start to get suggestions for a good builder. A builder who's good word of mouth testimonials is one you should add to your list of possible contractors to ask for a quotation.

The next best way to find an experienced Maidenhead building company is to ask experts within the industry. You can locate builders and building contractors who are backed by insurances and guarantees on the Federation of Master Builders list of trusted builders. An approved FMB builder should give you the self-assurance in knowing that your project will be successfully completed even when problems occur, or unanticipated delays in construction occur.

It is advisable to prepare details about your building project prior to asking for a job quote from a building firm in Maidenhead. A precise quotation can only be prepared if you lay out in clear detail the scope and requirements of your construction project. If it's quite a large undertaking you can ask a building contractor to supervise every stage, from design and management to full construction, whilst modest building tasks should enable you to have some designs and ideas to show a builder in order to obtain an accurate estimate.

You should make photocopies of any written design requirements and architect's drawings and pass them on to any Maidenhead builders you ask for a quotation. This way you're both clear on the anticipated result of the project. Together with an itemised quotation the builder should also determine a rough timeframe for the completion of the building works.

Quotations can fluctuate significantly, however if there are one or two much cheaper than the rest you must ask the builder to explain why this is the case and to check that they have fully understood your requirements. As a prospective client you're within your rights to request a compelling explanation and see an itemised break down of cost, and if the builder is unable to provide this it may be in your best interests to look at another contractor for the work.

As soon as you've got all the estimates in, you shouldn't be in a panic to decide on a building company in Maidenhead; sleep on it and the following day go over all of the job quotes again to play it safe. You should pay special attention to anything that's NOT included in the total price given. For example, some building contractors might reduce the quote by not adding waste removal when the job is completed. The rubble and debris from any building work needs to be removed and disposed of in a safe and controlled fashion, in line with local guidelines, and this can be a rather expensive extra if it's not contained in the quote.

Another thing to think about is the style, design and finish of any fittings and fixtures that you might need. Seeing that certain designs will need to be sourced from different retailers, your written brief should have as much detail as possible regarding the fittings you want, to enable the builder to present you with a totally accurate price. If the quote does not stipulate your requirements you might wind up with a cheaper option to reduce costs.

So, you have made up your mind, you have a price quote that you are happy with and you've hired your building contractor. Before the real work commences your builder should write up a contract for the protection of both of you. This will include such things as specific fittings or fixtures, responsibilities in clearing the site before work starts and after completion, materials, and the making good of any snags during and at the conclusion of the project. There should also be reference to the guarantee and warranty period of any work.

It may also establish the payment method for the building work. Your builder may want a deposit, although it isn't advisable to pay significant cash payments up front. Installments should only be paid when each stage of a project is completed, and only when you are satisfied with the quality of the work.

At the end of the project there needs to be a final inspection of the work between the client and the builder to make sure all work has been completed to a good standard and a snagging list made up, if needed. A snagging list is a means by which a builder can correct any minor problems discovered at the termination of the project, and should be in accordance with the signed contract between both parties. Both parties should be accepting of the other's point of view and be ready to put forward a solution so that everyone can feel satisfied with the final outcome. The final payment should be made once site waste has been removed (if included in contract), any snags have been put right and all the work has been finished.

It is a sad fact that some building projects turn sour because of a lack of communication between client and builder. If you should notice a problem, or something you wish to change during the project, chat with your builder immediately. It gets much more difficult to correct an issue the longer it's left to fester, and you will both appreciate good communication from the start.

It is entirely possible that you will be living and in close contact with the building company for a period of time and on a day-to-day basis, on a larger project. You must have complete trust and understanding in this situation with your Maidenhead building contractors and their workforce. An immense help in accomplishing this is by looking at their qualifications, memberships and accreditations of professional trade bodies.

There are quite a few professional associations that provide construction and building skills, project management training and technical, hands-on building courses for workers at every level. There are membership schemes provided by over 30 organisations to put the spotlight on qualifications and individual expertise, or to accentuate the professionalism and trustworthiness of building companies throughout Great Britain. Trade organisations that are highly regarded in the construction industry are:

The Construction Industry Council - With over 25,000 construction consultants and approximately 500,000 building professionals amongst its members, the CIC (Construction Industry Council) is the largest construction industry organisation. These represent both the technical and management side of the construction industry and it is highly likely that a site manager or other executive will hold a CIC membership.

The Federation of Master Builders - The Federation of Master Builders is the accepted membership for many construction companies, not merely in Maidenhead, but right across the UK. FMB members can provide insurance for any construction work they undertake and also provide conflict resolution to find an acceptable outcome for both contractor and client in case of any disagreements.

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - The bare minimum certification required for any individual working on a building site is the Construction Skills Certification Scheme card. To get a CSCS card a person first has to pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test and give written evidence of their qualifications and expertise with regards to the construction and building industry.

The CSCS cards have different colours to represent the diverse levels of expertise and qualifications in the building trade of each card holder. To gather more information on the CSCS scheme and the responsibilities and roles of the different coloured cards you can always visit their website.
