5 Things to Know Before You Hire a Builder! 🙌🏽
1. The cheapest quote isn’t always the cheapest option.
A low quote can sometimes mean things have been left out. Make sure you’re comparing like-for-like quotes and understand exactly what is included.
2. Always look at their previous work.
Don’t just rely on photos. If possible, visit a completed project or ask for examples similar to the work you’re planning.
3. Check reviews and look for consistency.
One or two good reviews don’t tell the whole story. Look at what previous customers say about communication, reliability, quality and how the builder handled problems.
4. Get everything agreed in writing.
The scope of work, materials, payment schedule, timescales and what happens if additional work is needed should all be clear before work begins.
5. Communication matters as much as workmanship.
You want a builder who answers questions, keeps you updated and tells you when something changes. Good communication can make the whole project significantly less stressful.
