In general, the next best way to uncover an experienced Pitsea builder is to ask experts within the industry. The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) has a database of registered members who come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance supported warranty as standard. This kind of peace of mind can be vital during a stressful and nerve-racking building project, particularly when things don't go to plan.

It is prudent to have details on your project prepared before you ask any contractor in Pitsea for a quotation. A definitive quotation can only be put together if you explain in clear detail the requirements and scope of your construction project. You of course could use a builder to oversee the planning and design of your building works, however for modest building tasks it is wise to have your details ready and prepared when you first contact a building contractor.

You should make photocopies of any architectural drawings or written design requirements and pass them on to the Pitsea builders who you ask for a price quote. This way you're describing your exact requirements from the start. In addition to a detailed quotation your builder should also be able to set out an approximate timescale for the completion of the work.

If you receive a job quote that is significantly cheaper than the others, take some time to contemplate how this can be and ask how they would be able to work for that amount without skimping on labour or materials. If they cannot break down the costs or give a compelling answer to explain the quotation, then it may be advisable to look at a different building company, even if they are a little more expensive.

Once you have received all the estimates, you shouldn't be in a panic to choose a building company in Pitsea; sleep on it and the next day you can go over all of the job quotes once more to cover all your bases. A quote might not exactly itemise every part of the project, however there ought to be a checklist of stages in the build process, and you are trying to identify things that haven't been included in the initial estimation. If there's no entry on your quotation for rubble and building rubbish removal, for instance, you must ask if this will be included at no extra charge. The rubble and debris from any construction work needs to be disposed of in a safe and responsible way, in line with local legislation, and this can be a costly extra if it's not contained in the quotation you've been given.

Another aspect to look at is the design, finish and style of any fittings and fixtures that you might need. Seeing that specific fixtures will have to be sourced from various retailers, your written brief needs to have as much detail as possible with regard to the accessories you've chosen, to allow the builder to present you with a totally accurate quote. If you feel at all unsure about any element of the price quote in relation to your fittings and fixtures, this is the time to raise the questions and ensure you won't get any unwanted surprises once the work starts.

When you've picked out a builder and approved their quote there's one more piece of paperwork to deal with. To protect both parties' interests, the building company should supply you with a written contract to sign before the real work starts. This will include such things as details of fittings and fixtures, what materials are to be used, clearing of the site before work commences (theirs or your responsibility), as well as the doing any "snagging" during and at the conclusion of the project. It should also explain any agreed warranty period and what the guarantee covers with regards to materials and building work.

This contract should also set out how and when payments should be made for the project in question. If you are asked for a deposit you should be wary of paying out significant sums of cash to any builder before the work has even begun. If you are paying for your project in stages, you should only pay upon each stage completion, and when you're happy with the standard of the work that has been accomplished.

A final inspection should be made between the builder and the client and any work that needs to be put right, or stuff missed through the construction phase needs to be documented. A common sense approach is needed by both sides when addressing this list, and it should comply with the formal contract that was agreed and signed at the start of the project. Each party needs to be ready to accept the other's viewpoint and be willing to put forward a solution in order that everyone can feel pleased with the final result. Only when any snags have been made good and all work is completed to your satisfaction, should the final payment be sent to the builder.

Good communication between yourself and the builder is vital to keep a construction project running smoothly. If there is something you wish to alter, or you notice a problem coming to light you need to have a word with the building contractor ASAP. If you have good communication with your builders you are less likely to wait for the "right" time to speak to them, especially as the longer an issue is left unresolved, the more complicated it is to correct.

It's quite possible that you'll be living and in close contact with your building company for a period of time and on a day-to-day basis, on a substantial project. Having trust and confidence in the builder's qualifications, experience and skills can mean that this extra stress is a little bit easier to live with. An immense help in accomplishing this can be gained by looking into their accreditations, memberships and qualifications of trade organisations.

There are quite a few trade bodies that provide project management training, building and construction skills and technical, hands-on building classes for workers at every level. An individual builder or building firm may be a member of one of the 30 schemes established by industry frontrunners to shine a light on their expertise, trustworthiness and professionalism. Associations that are held in good regard in the building industry are:

The Construction Industry Council - The Construction Industry Council (CIC) has approximately 25,000 construction consultants and over 500,000 individual building professionals in its membership. These represent both the management and technical side of the construction industry and it's likely that a site manager or other similar executive will hold a CIC membership.

Pitsea Skip Hire Services

A fair amount of waste and rubbish is likely to be produced, whatever the size of your building project in Pitsea, and this won't be suitable for disposal in the regular wheelie bins that are used for your normal household trash. Local council regulations might even state that any garden or construction waste that is generated has to be disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly way. This might mean you're obligated to dispose of it in an official disposal and recycling facility. Rather than undertaking constant journeys back and forth to the local Household Recycling Centre with your waste, you could instead think about hiring a skip.

Skip Hire Pitsea

With a reputable skip hire company in Pitsea, it is guaranteed that all your waste will undergo the safe and correct disposal procedures at an approved facility. All the same, it's vital that you ascertain the form of waste materials that will be created by your building project, and you can go through this with your contractor and the skip hire service concerned. If asbestos waste is involved for instance, it may mean your skip hire firm will have to use a completely separate disposal system for the harmful waste.

Hazardous waste is covered by rigid guidelines, and the professionals are the best people to deal with the disposal of this. Working closely together, the skip hire company and your contractor will make certain that all rules and regulations are correctly dealt with.

The perfect solution is when you've got a space in your garden or driveway when a skip could be placed. You could get hold of your neighbours if you have parking on the main road or no suitable area for a skip, and ask if they might be able to leave a suitable space close to where the work is being done where you can stick it. Skips which are put on a public road in Pitsea will need a temporary permit from the local council, but this won't be necessary if it's positioned on private land. Get in touch with you local council offices to see if you require one. This will guarantee that the placement of the skip won't get you into a jam.

Skip hire companies in Pitsea and the wider Essex area offer skips in all types of sizes for any scale of project you may have, and they range between mini-skips and skip bags right up to giant roll on roll off monsters and builders skips.
