How to choose a good builder
If you are planning an extension to your home, or simply need a smaller project completed, it is always important to find a reputable, certified builder who won’t rip you off. Once you have found a good builder, you can use him again and again in the future.
But it is difficult to know where to go to find a builder you can build this relationship with. A builders in Wilmslow stated, “It is, after all, your home which you are letting the builder into and most builders respect this space. As a company, we try and build a reputation by being friendly and professional at all times, whilst also ensuring that we help the customer with things like planning permission and we can even put them in contact with other companies if need be, such as a plumber.”
The first place to look is by asking friends and family who they can recommend. A good builder is usually building his reputation on word of mouth. If this doesn’t bring up any builders that you want to peruse, it is a good idea to check websites such as check a trade, which is built on customers personal recommendations. There are also services such as the “find a builder” business, which aims to link you to a reputable builder based on your specific requirements.
When you have found a possible building company, it is a good idea to have a chat in person and for him or her to assess the space you are looking to work on. A builders in Cheshire stated, “it is a good idea to reaffirm a relationship by visiting the home beforehand, so you can get a god idea for the people and the project. The builder can then go away and calculate his sums, to find the best price for the project. A good builder will come up with a cost which makes them profit but does not rip the customer off.”
