Builders Whickham

Builder Whickham Tyne and Wear (NE16): Picking the right builder for your Whickham based building project can be difficult with the large number on offer. Do you need a house builder, a specialist in one form of construction skills or just a general builder for your project, and how will you know which to choose? To find the right builder for your precise needs, below are some helpful advice and tips.

Whatever the size of your building venture; a cellar renovation, a complete house build, an extension to your house or just a new garden wall, you want a qualified, professional and reliable Whickham building contractor to carry out the work. Start by asking for suggestions from friends and neighbours. If your family or friends have had building work undertaken and they're satisfied with how the work went, then you couldn't get a better advertisement for any building contractor.

If you don't know anybody who can endorse a building contractor in Whickham then you could ask the professionals. The Federation of Master Builders has a database of registered members that come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance endorsed warranty as standard. This peace of mind can be priceless during a stressful and nerve-racking building project, particularly when problems are encountered.

You'll have to prepare a few things before asking a professional builder in Whickham for a quotation. They will not be able to come up with an accurate price if it isn't clear exactly what you want. You could obviously use your builder to oversee the design and management of the building works, but for modest building jobs it is wise to have your details ready and prepared when you first make contact with a building contractor.

You should have a written brief of all your requirements along with photocopies of architect's drawings to hand to every Whickham builder who provides a price quote. By having these documents ready it establishes a precise plan which a good building contractor can use as a template for the job. In addition to an itemised quotation your builder will also be able to establish a rough timeline for the completion of the building works.

Price quotes can vary significantly, but if there are a couple that are much lower than the rest you must ask the builder to explain why this is the case and to check they fully understand your expectations. As a prospective client you're perfectly within your rights to request an acceptable explanation and receive an itemised break down of the costs, and if the builder is unable or unwilling to provide this it could be better to be safe than sorry and consider a different company for the work.

As soon as you've received all the estimates, you shouldn't be in a rush to choose a building company in Whickham; sleep on it and the next day you can double check all the job quotes once again to play it safe. Consider what's included, and more importantly, what isn't included in the cost. If there's no entry on your quotation for waste removal, for example, you should ask if this is included at no extra charge. The debris and rubble from any building work has to be disposed of in a safe and controlled fashion, in accordance with local guidelines, and this can be a rather expensive extra if it is not included in the quote.

Another thing to consider is the design, finish and style of any fixtures and fittings that you require. Given that specific styles will need to be procured from different retailers, your written summary should have as much detail as possible with regard to the fittings you want, to enable the builder to present you with an exact quote. If you've made specific demands you may need to confirm these are replicated in your quote.

As soon as you have chosen a suitable Whickham building contractor and agreed on their price quote there's one more piece of paperwork to deal with. Before the real work starts the builder should write up a contract for the protection of you both. This contract will be distinct to your particular building project and will deal with things like clearing of the site before work begins (yours or their responsibility), the materials to be used and where to store them on site, details of fittings and fixtures, and what to do if there any delays in or problems with the work. There should additionally be mention of the guarantee and warranty period of any work.

If you've come to an agreement on a method of payment, this should also be noted in this contract, or a builder will specify when and how any payments will be made. Your builder might ask for a small deposit, however it is not advisable to pay significant amounts of money in advance. Payments should only be made when each stage of a building project is completed, and only if you're happy with the standard of the work.

At the conclusion of the project there should be a final inspection of the work involving the builder and the client to make certain all construction work has been completed to a good standard and a snagging list of minor faults compiled, if necessary. This snagging list should shine a spotlight on any minor problems that need rectifying in keeping with the terms of the contract that was agreed by both sides before construction work started. A final inspection does not have the purpose of picking fault with the standard of the work, but is undertaken to take care of any concerns over the outcome of the building project and how to fix them. When all work is completed, the site has been cleared of tools and materials and the snag list has been done, the final payment can be made.

If you establish good lines of communication with your builder, you are putting down a good foundation in the smooth running of your project. If you happen to find a problem, or something you want to modify throughout the project, speak to your builder right away. The longer you leave an issue to develop, the more difficult it is for the building contractor to rectify and creating a good rapport from the outset is important.

You could be living in direct contact on a day to day basis and for some time with your building team if the construction project is a substantial one. You should have complete trust and understanding in this situation with your Whickham building contractors and their personnel. A considerable help in achieving this is researching their qualifications, accreditations and memberships of professional bodies.
