If you get a quote which is substantially cheaper than the rest, take a moment to consider why this is and ask yourself how they would be able to work for that price level without cutting corners on labour or materials. If they can't break down the costs or give a compelling answer to explain the quotation, then it might be better to consider a different building contractor, even if they happen to be a little more expensive.

Before picking out which East Malling building company to employ have a final look over their quotes. A quotation may not itemise every part of the project, but there ought to be a checklist of stages in the construction, and you are looking for stuff that hasn't been included in the first estimation. Some builders may not itemise rubble and building waste removal as an example. This has to be removed and disposed of in a responsible way and should you find it is not part of the estimate then you should find out why.

You might also need to verify any fixtures and fittings you want for your build are to your exact specifications. This is something that ought to be clarified on your original written summary that is given to the builder to allow him to procure the items and make sure they're included in the estimate. Should you feel at all uncertain about any part of the quote with regard to your fixtures and fittings, now is a good time to raise questions and ensure that you won't have any unwanted surprises once the building work commences.

So, you have made your mind up, you've got a quotation that you're happy with and you've appointed your your chosen East Malling building contractor. Before any physical work commences your builder should write up a contract that protects both of you. This contract will be distinct to your job and could deal with areas like removal of building waste and rubbish, details of fixtures and fittings, materials, and what will be done if there any delays in or issues with the project. It should in addition give details of any warranty period and what the guarantee covers in respect of materials and building work.

It may also set out the payment method for the project. It is possible that you might be asked for a deposit, but do not pay out any significant amounts of money before the work starts. Installments should only be paid when each phase of a building project is completed, and then only when you are happy with the quality of the work.

A snag list of any minor faults can be gathered together during the final inspection of the completed project by the builder and client. The list should be handled with a common sense approach from both sides, and should adhere to the contract that was agreed at the start of the project. Each side needs to be accepting of the other's viewpoint and be willing to offer a solution so that everyone can feel pleased with the building works completion. Only when any snags have been made good and all work is finished to your satisfaction, should the final payment be given to the builder.
