In general, the next best way to locate a reliable Sawtry builder is to ask professionals within the construction industry. The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) holds a database of members that come guaranteed and with an FMB insurance endorsed warranty as standard. When stuff goes wrong on a building project, this peace of mind and insurance from the Federation of Master Builders can prove vital.

You'll need to prepare a few things before asking a builder in Sawtry for a quote. If your building project isn't made crystal clear, it becomes very difficult for any builder to supply you with an accurate quotation. If it's a big undertaking you can ask a building company to oversee every stage of the work, from planning and management to the actual construction works, whilst smaller building tasks should enable you to have some ideas and designs ready and prepared to show a builder so as to receive an exact quote.

You should have a written summary of all your specifications as well as copies of architectural drawings to hand over to every Sawtry builder who provides a quote. By having these documents ready it sets out a defined plan which a reputable building contractor will be able to use as a template for the undertaking. Any price quote you get should also come together with an estimated timescale for finishing the build.

Quotes can differ significantly, but if there are one or two much cheaper than the rest you must ask the builder to explain why this is the case and to make sure that they fully understand your requirements. As a potential client you're quite within your rights to request an acceptable explanation and see an itemised break down of the estimated costs, and if the builder is unable to provide this it could be in your best interests to look at another contractor for the task.

Don't make any hasty decisions in choosing builders in Sawtry, or feel compelled into going for a particular one; a great tip is to wait for 24 hours and read through each of the job quotes once more. Look at what's included, and more importantly, what ISN'T included in the cost. Some building companies may not itemise rubble and building waste removal for instance. The debris and rubble from any building work has to be removed and disposed of in a safe and regulated fashion, in line with local guidelines, and this can be a costly extra if it isn't included in the initial quote.

You might also need to double check that any fixtures and fittings you require for your build are to your specifications. This must be stated on your written brief and accordingly quoted for by the builder. If you've made particular demands you might need to confirm these are reflected in the quotation.

As soon as you've picked out a builder and approved their estimate there's one further bit of paperwork to get through. A contract should be presented to you by the building company to specify details of the work. This will include such things as responsibilities in clearing the site before work begins and after completion, details of fixtures and fittings, the materials to be used and where to store them on site, as well as the doing any "snagging" during and at the end of the project. The contract should declare what warranty period you may have and what the guarantees by the builder cover in relation to their work and/or materials used for the project.

The contract should also stipulate how and when payments should be made for the construction work in question. The builder may request a deposit, however it is advised not to pay substantial cash payments up front. Larger construction projects are normally paid for in stages, and you'll only pay on the completion of each stage when you are happy that the work has been accomplished successfully.

A final inspection will be made by the client and builder and any items that need to be corrected, or stuff missed through the building stage should be documented. A snag list is a way for a builder to correct any small issues found at the end of the project, and should be in keeping with the the building contract that was agreed by both parties. A final inspection isn't used to pick faults in the standard of the work, but is undertaken to deal with any concerns over the outcome of the building project and the means by which to fix them. Only when any snags have been made good and all work is finished to your satisfaction, should the final payment for the job be sent to the builder.

Good communication between yourself and the builder is crucial in order to keep a construction project running smoothly. If there is something you'd like to change, or you see a problem coming to light you should have a word with the building company as soon as possible.
