If you can't find anybody who can recommend or endorse a building contractor in Falmouth then you can ask the industry professionals.

Before asking a building contractor in Falmouth for an estimate you'll need to have a few details ready in advance. A precise quote can only be put together if you lay out in detail the requirements and scope of your building project. You could of course use a builder to oversee the design and management of the project, but for modest building jobs it's best to have your specifications ready and prepared when you first make contact with a building contractor.

You should make duplicates of any architect's drawings or written design requirements and pass them on to the Falmouth builders who you need to get a quotation from.

When you receive your estimate you should also be given an approximate timeframe for the project.

Quotes can fluctuate significantly, but if there are one or two much lower than the others you must get the builder to explain why this is so and to check they fully understand your expectations. As a possible client you are within your rights to request a credible explanation and see an itemised break down of cost, and if the builder is unable or unwilling to provide this it might be better to be safe than sorry and consider another contractor for the job.

Do not make a hasty decision when selecting a building contractor in Falmouth, or feel pressured into going for one in particular; a good tip is to wait for 24 hours or so and read through each of the estimates once more. A price quote might not break down every part of the build, however there ought to be a checklist of stages in the build process, and you're trying to identify anything that hasn't been included in the first estimate. If there's no entry on your quotation for building waste and rubble removal, for example, you must ask them if this is included at no extra charge. This must be disposed of in a responsible manner and if you discover it's not part of the quotation then you should ask why.

You might also need to check that any fixtures and fittings you require for your build are to your specifications. Stuff like this must be stipulated on your written summary and quoted for accordingly by the builder. If you've made particular demands you may need to verify these are reflected in your quote.

Okay, you have found a price quote you're satisfied with and you are now ready to hire your builder. A contract should now be drawn up by the building firm to set out the details of the undertaking. This will very likely include points such as; materials, specific fittings or fixtures, clearance of the site before work starts, and there'll be a resolution for any snags or issues. There should additionally be mention of the guarantee and warranty period of the work involved.

It might also establish the methods of payment for the work. If you're asked for a deposit you must be wary of paying substantial amounts of cash to any builder before work commences. If you're paying for your project in phases, you should only pay upon each stage completion, and when you're satisfied with the work that's been accomplished.

At the conclusion of any project there needs to be a final inspection of the work involving the client and builder to make certain all construction work has been completed satisfactorily and a snag list compiled, if needed. This list should be handled with a common sense approach from both parties, and should comply with the contract that was signed at the start of the project. As both sides carry out a final building inspection there should be a mutual agreement to the contents of the snag list and explanations on how to fix any faults raised. Only when all work is completed to your satisfaction and any snags put right, should the final payment for the job be given to the builder.
