Builder Ottery St Mary Devon (EX11): Choosing the right builder for your Ottery St Mary construction project can be challenging with the large number to select from. How can you decide on which specialist building contractor, general builder or house builder to employ? To help you on your way, below are some tips and advice on getting the best Ottery St Mary builder at a decent price.

Whatever the size of your building assignment; an extension to your house, a complete house build, a loft conversion or just a new garden wall, you want a reliable, qualified and professional Ottery St Mary building contractor to do the job. Start by asking for recommendations from family and friends. If they are pleased with a builder they've used then put them on your shortlist because you will want to get more than one quote for the task.

If you can't find anyone who can recommend or endorse a building company in Ottery St Mary then you can ask the professionals. A list of reliable and professional independent builders and building contractors is held by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), who back each member with an insurance backed warranty and guarantees for any construction work they do. If things happen to go wrong on a building project, this peace of mind and insurance from the Federation can turn out to be priceless.

You'll need to get a few things prepared before asking a professional builder in Ottery St Mary for a price quote. They won't be able to provide a definitive price if it's not crystal clear precisely what you need. You ought to be able to show some plans and designs for smaller construction works, a garden wall for instance, however if it's a larger project you can ask your builder for assistance right from the design and planning stage and all the way through the management of the build to completion.

If you've got any architectural drawings, you should make copies and pass them to any Ottery St Mary builder supplying a job quote, as well as a detailed written summary of the work. By having these documents ready it establishes a defined plan which a professional building contractor will be able to use as a working template for the job. Any quote you get should also come with an estimated timeline for the completion of the build.

If you get a quote which is significantly cheaper than the rest, take some time to consider how this can be and ask yourself how they would be able to do the job for that price without scrimping on materials or manpower. If you don't get a satisfactory response it might be safer to move on to an alternative building company and dodge potential stress and issues because of possible increasing costs as the work progresses.

Do not make any hasty decisions in choosing a building company in Ottery St Mary, or feel pushed into going for a particular one; an excellent rule is to wait for a day or so and check over each of the quotations once again. You need to pay special attention to anything that's NOT included in the total price offered. Certain building contractors may not itemise building waste and rubble removal for instance. The rubble and debris from any building work has to be removed and disposed of in a safe and ethical way, in accordance with local regulations, and this can be a rather expensive extr outlay if it's not listed in the final quote.

You may also need to ensure any fixtures and fittings you need for your build are up to your exact specifications. This is something that should be transparent on your original written brief that is given to the builder to enable him to procure the items and make certain they are included in the estimate. If you've made particular demands you might need to confirm that these are reflected in the quote.

So, you've made your mind up, you have a quote that you are satisfied with and you have appointed your building contractor. To secure both parties' interests, the builder should present you with a contract to sign before any work starts. This will include such things as what materials are to be used, specific fixtures or fittings, clearing of the site before work starts, as well as the doing any "snagging" during and at the end of the project. It should additionally discuss any agreed warranty period and what any guarantees cover in regard to materials and building work.

If you have agreed on a payment method, this will be mentioned in this contract. Your builder may ask for a deposit, but it isn't advisable to pay large amounts of money in advance. Payments should be made only when each part of a project is completed, and then only if you're satisfied with the quality of the work.

At the end of any project there will be a final inspection of the work involving the client and builder to make sure that all work has been finished to a good standard and a snag list compiled, if necessary. A snagging list is a way for a builder to fix any minor problems discovered at the end of the project, and should be tackled in keeping with the the contract that was agreed by both parties. As both sides carry out a final building inspection there needs to be a mutual agreement to the contents of the snag list and a discussion should take place as to how the faults will be corrected. Only when any snags have been made good and all work is finished to your satisfaction, should the final payment be sent to the builder.

It is a sad fact that many building projects turn sour owing to lack of communication between the client and builder. If there's something you wish to change, or you notice a problem developing you should talk to the building contractor ASAP. The longer that you leave a problem to develop, the harder it is for the building company to put right and having a good rapport from the start is vital.

For larger building projects you have to appreciate that you'll be in direct contact with your builders on a regular basis. It's essential that you've got trust and confidence in your Ottery St Mary builder and whose understanding of the building trade and experience in your type of project is totally dependable.
