Choosing the Right Contractor or Builder
Last Update 3 months ago
Selecting the right professional ensures quality construction and peace of mind. Here’s how to make the right choice.
1. Verify Credentials
- Ask for license, registration, and references.
- Check their previous projects or visit completed sites.
2. Compare Multiple Bids
- Don’t go with the cheapest blindly.
- Compare materials, labor terms, and completion timelines.
3. Clear Contracts
- Always sign a written agreement specifying:
- Project scope and timeline
- Material quality and sources
- Payment schedule
- Penalties for delays
4. Supervision and Communication
- Set up weekly progress meetings.
- Use milestone payments (after completion of each phase).
5. Red Flags
Avoid contractors who:
- Demand large advance payments
- Refuse to provide references
- Have no physical office or contactable address
