Builders Workington

Builder Workington Cumbria (CA14): Picking the best builder for your Workington based construction project can be hard with so many to choose from. Do you need a house builder, a specialist in one form of construction skills or just a general builder for your project, and how should you go about choosing? To find the best builder for your particular needs, here are some useful tips and advice.

It matters not if you're building your own house, renovating a basement, having an extension built or any other project, your Workington builder must be professional, reliable and adequately qualified to carry out the task. The first thing you can do is ask neighbours and friends for suggestions. If they're pleased with a builder then add them to your shortlist since you'll need to get more than one quote for the work.

If you don't know anyone who can recommend a builder in Workington then ask the professionals. A list of trusted independent builders and building companies is held by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), who endorse each member with an insurance backed warranty and guarantees for any construction work that they do. A recommended FMB building company will give you the confidence in knowing that your project will be successfully completed even if problems occur, or unanticipated delays in construction occur.

Before requesting a quote from a building contractor in Workington you will need to have some details ready beforehand. If the building project isn't made crystal clear, it can be extremely difficult for any building contractor to provide you with an accurate quote. You should be able to come up with some designs and dimensions for modest construction tasks, a garden wall for instance, but if it is a larger kind of project you can ask the builder for help right from the planning and design stage right through to the management of the build to completion.

You need to make copies of any architectural drawings or written design specifications and pass them on to any Workington builders who you need to get a quotation from. Through this process you will both be clear on the envisioned outcome of the task. Any quotation you get will also come together with an estimated timeframe for the completion of the build.

Price quotes can fluctuate significantly, but if there are one or two much lower than the others you must ask the builder to clarify why this is the case and to ensure that they have fully understood your needs. As a prospective client you are quite within your rights to ask for a compelling explanation and see a break down of the costs, and if the builder is unwilling or unable to supply this it could be better to be safe than sorry and look at a different contractor for the work.

Before settling on which Workington building company to hire have a final read through of their quotes. Assess what is included in the price, and more importantly what isn't included. Some building contractors may not itemise building waste and rubble removal for instance. This has to be disposed of in an ethical fashion and if you discover it's not part of the estimate then you need to find out why.

You might also need to check that any fittings and fixtures you want for your project match up to your exact specifications. Stuff like this must be stipulated on your written summary and accordingly quoted for by the builder. If you feel at all unsure about any aspect of the price quote with regard to your fixtures and fittings, now is the time to raise the questions and be sure you will not have any unwanted surprises once the work begins.

Okay, so you've found an estimate that you are satisfied with and you're in a position to appoint your builder. To safeguard both parties' interests, the builder should supply you with a contract to sign before any actual physical work begins. This contract should be unique to your building project and will deal with areas like materials, details of fittings and fixtures, clearance of the site before work begins (theirs or your responsibility), and what will occur if there any problems or delays in the project. The contract will declare what warranty period you may have and exactly what the guarantees by the builder cover with regards to their work or/and materials that are used for the project.

The contract will also explain when and how payments should be made for the work in question. If you are asked for a deposit you must be wary of paying out large sums of cash to a builder before any work has actually commenced. Payments should be made only when each stage of a project has been finished, and only when you're satisfied with the quality of the work.

At the end of any project there will be a final inspection of the work between the builder and client to ensure that all construction work has been completed to a good standard and a snag list of minor errors compiled, if necessary. A common sense approach is necessary by both parties when managing this list, and it should observe the contract that was agreed at the start of the project. As both parties carry out a final building inspection there must be a mutually acceptable agreement to the contents of the snagging list and explanations on how to correct any faults discussed. The final payment can be made when site waste has been removed (if part of the contract), all the work has been completed and any snags have been rectified.

If you develop a good line of communication with your builder, you are taking a big step towards the smooth and efficient running of your construction project. If there is something you want to modify, or you notice an issue developing you need to have a word with the building contractor ASAP. If you have good communication with your building contractor you're less likely to wait around for the "right" time to talk to them, particularly as the longer a problem is left to fester, the more challenging it is to rectify.

It is entirely possible that you'll be living and working closely with your building company on a daily basis for a period of time. It is crucial that you have confidence and trust in your Workington builders and whose understanding of the construction industry and familiarity with your type of project is completely dependable. Of great help in accomplishing this can be gained by reviewing their qualifications, accreditations and memberships of professional trade bodies.

Within the construction industry there are lots of qualifications for project management, hands-on training and other construction related assistance from a range of different professional trade bodies. There are additionally over 30 associations with membership schemes highlighting the professionalism and expertise of individual builders and building companies. Some of the most important construction industry schemes to keep an eye out for are:

The Construction Industry Council - With approximately 25,000 construction consultants and in excess of 500,000 building professionals amongst its members, the Construction Industry Council is the largest professional organisation within the construction industry. These represent both 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 stated earlier, the FMB (Federation of Master Builders) is a leading trade body that sets industry-wide standards in the building trade for workers at all levels. The benefits of hiring an FMB affiliated builder are the guarantees and reassurances that this key organisation gives to its membership and their clients.

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme - The bare minimum certification required for any worker on a building site is the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card. The CSCS card shows proficiency in the CITB Health, Safety and Environment as well as giving notice of the construction skills and qualifications of the person.

The CSCS cards have various different colours to represent the differing qualifications and levels of expertise in the trade of each card holder. To find out more about the CSCS scheme and the responsibilities and roles of the different card colours you could pop along to their website.
