Builders Wakefield

Builder Wakefield West Yorkshire (WF1): There are so many building contractors and construction companies in and around Wakefield that it can be something of a challenge to pick the best one for your requirements. From specialist building contractors, house builders, to general builders; how do you know which to use? To assist you in finding the best Wakefield building contractor for your assignment here are some helpful tips and guidance to set you on the right path.

It matters not if you're having an extension built, building your own home, upgrading a basement or some other project you're thinking of, your Wakefield building contractor must be professional, reliable and suitably qualified to carry out the task. Neighbours and friends are a good place to look for recommendations for a decent builder. A builder who's good word of mouth approval is one to put on your list of possible contractors to ask for a price quote.

In general, the next best way to find an experienced Wakefield building company is to ask professionals within the construction industry. The FMB (Federation of Master Builders) has a database of members that all come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance supported warranty as standard. If anything happens to go wrong on a construction project, this insurance and peace of mind from the Federation of Master Builders can prove to be priceless.

You'll need to prepare a few things before asking a professional builder in Wakefield for an estimate. A definitive quotation can only be made if you explain in clear detail the scope and requirements of your building project. You should be able to show some designs and dimensions for modest construction tasks, a garden wall for example, but if it is a larger project you can ask the builder for assistance right from the design and planning stage right through to project management and completion.

You should make copies of any architect's drawings or written design specifications and pass them on to the Wakefield builders who you need to get an estimate from. This way you are both clear on the anticipated outcome of your project. As well as an itemised quotation the building contractor should also set out a rough timescale for the completion of the building works.

Quotations can fluctuate significantly, but if there are a couple that are much cheaper than the others you must ask the builder to clarify why this is so and to check that they have fully understood your needs. As a prospective customer you're quite within your rights to ask for a convincing explanation and see a break down of the estimated costs, and if the builder is unable or unwilling to provide this it might be in your best interests to look at a different contractor for the project.

Before opting for which Wakefield building company to use have one last look over their price quotes. Pay special attention to what ISN'T included in the final price. If there is no listing on your quote for waste removal, for example, you must ask if this will be included in the price given. The rubble and debris from any construction work has to be disposed of in a safe and responsible way, in accordance with local legislation, and this can be a costly extra if it's not contained in the final quote.

Another aspect to look at is the design, style and finish of any fixtures and fittings that you require. Stuff like this should be specified on your original written summary and accordingly quoted for by the builder. If the estimate doesn't stipulate your exact accessories you might wind up with a cheaper option to cut costs.

As soon as you've chosen a builder and accepted their estimate there is one more bit of paperwork to deal with. Before any physical work commences your builder should draw up a contract for the protection of both of you. This will likely include points such as; removal of building waste and rubbish, materials, details of fixtures and fittings, and there'll be a resolution for any snags or problems. It should in addition discuss any warranty period and what any guarantees cover in regards to building work and materials.

If you've agreed on a payment schedule, this will also be laid out in this contract, or a building contractor will specify how and when any payments are completed. Your builder may request a modest deposit, although it is not advisable to pay large amounts of money up front. If you're paying for your project in phases, you should only be asked to pay as each phase is completed, and when you're satisfied with the standard of the work that has been accomplished.

A final inspection should be made by the client and the builder and any work that needs to be corrected, or items overlooked through the building phase needs to be noted. This snagging list should shine a spotlight on any small problems that need fixing as outlined by the terms of the contract that was agreed by both sides before work started. A final inspection isn't used to pick fault with the quality of the work, but is carried out to address any concerns about the completed building project and how to fix them in a satisfactory way. Only when any snags have been made good and all work is completed to your satisfaction, should the final payment for the job be given to the builder.

It is unfortunate that quite a few construction projects go bad owing to poor communication between the customer and builder. If there is something you wish to modify, or you notice an issue coming to light you need to have a word with the building contractor ASAP. The longer you leave something to fester, the more difficult it is for the building contractor to put right and having a good relationship from the start is essential.

For bigger building projects you need to understand that you will be in close cooperation with your builders for some time. You must have complete trust and understanding in this situation with your Wakefield builders and their workforce. Any accreditations, memberships and qualifications held by the builder from industry professional organisations can help to give you reassurance.

In the construction industry there are several professional bodies and organisations that provide training in project management and building skills for all sections of the building workforce. An individual or building company can be a member of one of the thirty schemes that have been established by industry forerunners to put the spotlight on their professionalism, reliability and skills. The most widely acknowledged schemes to watch out for within the building industry are:

The Construction Industry Council - The Construction Industry Council has more than 25,000 construction consultants and in excess of 500,000 individual building professionals in its membership. These represent the management and technical side of the building industry and it is highly likely that a site manager or other similar executive will hold a CIC membership.

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - The Construction Skills Certification Scheme is a Government recognised card that every member of a building company workforce, from senior executives down to trainees, must hold in order to be able to work on a building site. To get a CSCS card a person has to first pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment exam and supply written evidence of their qualifications and skills in the building industry.

The CSCS cards are issued in various different colours to signify the diverse qualifications and levels of skill within the trade of the card holder. You can find more information and facts and see the different cards and roles on the CSCS website.

The Federation of Master Builders - The Federation of Master Builders is the accepted membership for many building contractors, not just in Wakefield, but right across the United Kingdom. The advantages of employing an FMB affiliated building contractor are the guarantees and reassurances that this principal association offers to its membership and their customers.
