Builders West Thurrock

Builder West Thurrock Essex (RM20): Picking the right builder for your West Thurrock building project can be tricky with so many available. From general builders, specialist building contractors, to house builders; how do you know which to pick? To help you on your way, below are some advice and tips on getting the best building company at a decent price.

It doesn't matter if you're redesigning a basement, building your own home, getting an extension built or any other project you're thinking about, your West Thurrock builders must be professional, reliable and qualified to do the job. The first thing you could do is ask family and friends for suggestions. If your friends or family have had building work completed and they are pleased with how the work went, then that's the best recommendation for a builder.

If you don't know anybody who can recommend a builder in West Thurrock then you could ask the industry professionals. The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) holds a list of members that come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance backed warranty as standard. A recommended FMB builder gives you the self-confidence in the knowledge that your project will be completed even when problems occur, or unexpected delays in building occur.

It is wise to have details about your building project ready prior to asking for a price quote from a builder in West Thurrock. They will not be able to provide a definitive price if it isn't crystal clear exactly what you need. You ought to be able to come up with some designs and dimensions of modest building tasks, a garden wall for example, but if it is a bigger project you can ask your builder for help right from the design stage right through to the management of the build to completion.

If you've got any architectural drawings, you need to make copies and hand them to any West Thurrock builder providing a price quote, as well as a detailed written summary of the work. By following this process you'll both be clear about the expected outcome of the project. Together with a detailed quote the building contractor should also specify an approximate timeframe for the completion of the building works.

Price quotes can fluctuate considerably, however if there are a couple that are much cheaper than the rest you should ask the builder to clarify why this is so and to check they fully understand your needs. If you do not receive an acceptable response then it may be better to move on to another building company and sidestep any possible stressful situations resulting from potential increasing costs as the work proceeds.

Do not make a rash decision when choosing builders in West Thurrock, or feel compelled into picking one in particular; a good suggestion is to hold back for 24 hours and look over all of the price quotes once more. You should pay special attention to anything that's NOT included in the final price. Certain building companies might not itemise building waste and rubble removal as an example. This must be removed and disposed of in a responsible and ethical manner and should you find it's not included in the quotation then you need to find out why.

Another element to consider is the finish, style and design of any fixtures and fittings that you might need. Things like this must be stated on your written summary and accordingly quoted for by the builder. Should you feel unsure about any element of the estimate in relation to your accessories, now is a good time to clarify the situation and ensure you won't get any unpleasant surprises during the build.

When you have decided on a builder and approved their quote there is one further piece of paperwork to get through. Before any actual physical work starts your builder should draft a contract to safeguard both of you. This will very likely include items such as; the materials to be used and where to store them on site, specifics of fittings and fixtures, clearing of the site before work begins (theirs or your responsibility), and an entry for resolving any issues or snags. There should additionally be reference to the warranty period and guarantee of the work involved.

If you have agreed on a payment schedule, this should also be laid out in this contract, or a building contractor will specify when and how any payments will be made. If you are requested to pay a deposit you need to be wary of paying out significant sums of money to a builder before any work has started. If you're paying for your project in phases, you should only be asked to pay upon each stage completion, and when you're happy with the standard of the work that has been done.

At the conclusion of the project there should be a final inspection of the work between the builder and the client to make sure that all work has been completed to a good standard and a snagging list made up, if necessary. A snagging list is a way for a builder to correct any minor issues found at the end of the project, and should be addressed in accordance with the signed building contract between both sides. As both parties complete a final building inspection there must be a mutual agreement to the snag list and a discussion should take place as to how any faults will be fixed. The final payment for the job can be made once all of the work has been finished, site waste has been cleared (if included in contract) and any snags have been put right.

It is a sad fact that many building projects go wrong because of a lack of communication between the builder and client. You always need to be able to discuss any problems or changes in your project with the builders.. The longer you leave a problem to fester, the more difficult it is for the building contractor to put right and having a good relationship from the start is essential.

It is entirely possible that you'll be living and in close collaboration with your building company on a daily basis for a period of time.
