Builders Salisbury

Builder Salisbury Wiltshire (SP1): With such a lot of construction companies and building contractors to select from in the Salisbury area, it can be a difficult choice in picking the right one for your proposed building project. How is it possible to decide on which specialist building contractor, general builder or house builder to hire? To assist you in finding a building contractor for your construction project here are some helpful advice and tips to set you on the right path.

Whatever the extent of your building venture; a full house build, a loft conversion, a home extension or just a new garden wall, you want a qualified, professional and reliable Salisbury building contractor to carry out the task. For starters you can try asking for suggestions from friends and family. If they are satisfied with a builder then add them to your shortlist because you will want to get more than one quote for the work.

If there is nobody who can supply you with a decent recommendation then you will have to search for a trusted Salisbury construction company by asking industry experts. A list of reputable individual builders and companies is held by the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), who back each signed up member with an insurance backed warranty and guarantees for any work they do. If anything happens to go wrong on a building project, this peace of mind and insurance from the Federation of Master Builders can prove to be vital.

Before asking a building company in Salisbury for a price quote you will need to have a few details prepared in advance. They won't be able to come up with an accurate price if it isn't crystal clear precisely what you need. You could of course use a builder to oversee the design and management of the project, but for modest building tasks it is best to have your requirements ready and prepared when you first contact a building company.

Have a written brief of your requirements along with photocopies of architect's drawings to hand to each Salisbury builder who supplies an estimate. By having these documents ready it establishes a defined plan which an experienced builder will be able to use as a template for the undertaking. When you obtain your estimate you will also be handed an approximated timeline for the building project.

Certain Salisbury builders will typically give a lower quote than the others, however you need to ask yourself how they're able to achieve this without corner-cutting or using inferior materials. As a prospective customer you are perfectly within your rights to ask for a compelling explanation and receive an itemised break down of the estimated costs, and if the builder is unable or unwilling to supply this it could be in your best interests to consider another company for the project.

Once you have all the estimates in, don't be in a rush to pick a builder in Salisbury; sleep on your decision and the following day go over all of the quotes once again just to be on the safe side. Look at what is included, and more to the point, what ISN'T included in the cost. For example, certain builders might reduce the estimated costs by not itemising waste removal when the job is completed. All building waste has to be removed and disposed of properly and if it's not included in the quotation you must ask who's responsible for the site clean-up on completion.

You might also need to affirm any fittings and fixtures you need for your build are to your exact specifications. Stuff like this should be stated on your original written summary and accordingly quoted for by your builder. If you have made specific demands you may need to verify that these are replicated in your quote.

Okay, so you've found a quote that you are happy with and you're now ready to appoint your builder. To safeguard both parties' interests, the builder ought to supply you with a contract to sign before the real work begins. This will likely include items such as; details of fittings and fixtures, what materials are to be used, clearance of the site before work starts (theirs or your responsibility), and there'll be an entry for resolving any problems or snags. There should additionally be mention of the guarantee and warranty period of the work involved.

If you have agreed on a method of payment, this will be included in this contract. It's possible you may be asked for a deposit, however you shouldn't pay out any significant amounts of money prior to work commencing. Payments should be made only when each phase of a building project has been finished, and only when you're happy with the quality of the work.

A final inspection should be carried out by the builder and the client and any items that need to be put right, or details missed through the construction phase should be written down. A common sense approach is needed by both sides when addressing this list, and it should comply with the contract that was agreed at the beginning of the project. A final inspection is not used to pick faults in the work, but is carried out to deal with any concerns about the final stage of the building project and the means by which to rectify them. The final payment should be made once all the work has been completed, any snags have been put right and site waste has been cleared (if part of the contract).

It is unfortunate that some building projects go bad owing to lack of communication between the customer and builder. You always need to be ready to discuss any changes in or problems with your project with your building contractor, and you need to do so the instant something crops up. The longer that you leave something to fester, the harder it is for the builders to put right and having a good relationship from the start is crucial.

For larger construction projects you need to understand that you will be working closely with your builders on a daily basis. You must have complete understanding and trust in this case with your Salisbury builder and his workforce. A tremendous help in achieving this is by evaluating their qualifications, accreditations and memberships of trade associations.

There are several trade bodies that provide project management training, building and construction skills and technical building classes for all levels of the workforce. There are also over 30 associations with membership schemes highlighting the expertise and professionalism of the individual and for building companies. Some of the largest construction industry schemes to watch out for are:

The Construction Industry Council - With more than 500,000 building professionals and more than 25,000 construction consultants among its membership, the Construction Industry Council is the biggest building industry association. These represent the management and technical side of the building industry and it's likely a site manager or other similar executive will be the holder of a CIC membership.

The Federation of Master Builders - As mentioned earlier, the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is a leading trade association that sets industry-wide standards in the building trade for workers at all levels. FMB members are able to offer insurance cover for any construction work they do and also offer conflict resolution to reach a satisfactory outcome for both client and contractor in the eventuality of any fall-outs.

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - In order to work on any construction site or seek employment by a building company, an individual must hold a card from the Construction Skills Certification Scheme. To get a CSCS card a worker first has to pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment course and give written evidence of their expertise and qualifications with regards to the building industry.

There are a number of variously coloured cards in the CSCS scheme, with each one demonstrating a different ability or qualification level of the holder. More information and facts can be found at the CSCS website.

Skip Hire Salisbury

Regular household rubbish bins are outstanding in regards to getting rid of your everyday waste, but for projects like construction in Salisbury, and other home and garden improvements, they are just not suitable for the waste and rubbish that is generated. Some local authorities also insist that the disposal of any garden or building materials must be done in an eco-friendly and regulated way. This means that if you're to safely stay within the law, you will be required to transport your rubbish to a recognised disposal and recycling centre, generally a council tip. Rather than going through continuous trips back and forth to the nearest council site with your waste, you could instead think about hiring a skip.

With an established skip hire company in Salisbury, it is pretty much certain that all of your waste will be correctly and safely disposed of at a council authorised site. Subject to what waste products are going to be generated by your building project, you can have a chat with your building works contractor and the skip hire firm that this is alright. It could mean that your skip hire company will need to split hazardous waste into a totally separate disposal system, for instance if asbestos may be involved.

Rigid regulations cover the disposal of hazardous waste, hence you should leave it to the experts if you have anything like this. The skip hire service and your contractor will work in conjunction to assure compliance with all rules and regulations.

If you happen to have a spot where a skip could be placed in your drive or garden, that is an ideal situation. If this isn't the case, and you park your car on the road and don't have any suitable place in your garden, you could try asking neighbours if they could leave you a bit of space near to your work area. Skips put on a main road in Salisbury will need a temporary permit or licence from the local council, but this won't be necessary if it is positioned on private land or a driveway. You can ask your local council office whether you need one or not. You can then guarantee that the placement of your skip will not be a problem.

With pretty much anything from massive roll-on, roll-off monsters and builders skips right down to mini-skips and skip bags, there are an array of skip sizes and shapes available to hire in Salisbury and the wider Wiltshire area.
