Builders Thrapston

Builder Thrapston Northamptonshire (NN14): There are such a lot of construction companies and builders in and near to Thrapston that it can be quite a challenge to choose the right one for your specific requirements. How can you decide on which general builder, specialist building contractor or house builder to hire? To help you out, below are some advice and tips on finding the best building company at the right price.

The builders you employ in Thrapston should be professional, reliable and qualified regardless of the extent of construction project you're expecting them to accomplish. The initial thing you can do is ask neighbours and friends for recommendations. If they're satisfied with a builder they've used then put them on your list since you'll need to get more than one price quote for the task.

If there's no-one that can provide you with a good recommendation then you'll have to look for an experienced Thrapston building company through experts in the industry. The Federation of Master Builders holds a list of registered members that all come with a guarantee and an FMB insurance backed warranty as standard. This form of peace of mind can be priceless during a nerve-racking building project, especially when things can sometimes not go to plan.

Before asking a building company in Thrapston for a quotation you will want to have a few details prepared beforehand. If the project isn't made clear, it becomes very difficult for any building company to provide you with a precise quote. You could obviously use a builder to oversee the design and management of your project, however for more modest building tasks it is better to have your specifications ready when you first make contact with a building contractor.

You need to make photocopies of any written design requirements and architect's drawings and give them to any Thrapston builders who you need to get a quotation from. Through this process you will both be clear on the expected outcome of your project. When you obtain your quotation you will also be handed an approximate timeline for your building project.

Quotations can differ significantly, but if there is one that is much cheaper than the rest you should get the builder to clarify why this is the case and to make certain that they fully understand your needs. As a possible customer you are within your rights to request a convincing explanation and receive an itemised break down of cost, and if the builder is unable or unwilling to supply this it could be in your best interests to consider a different company for the task.

Don't make any rash decisions when selecting builders in Thrapston, or feel compelled into going for one in particular; a great rule is to hold back for twenty four hours and check over all the estimates again. Consider what is included in the price, and more to the point what isn't included. If there is no entry on your quotation for building rubbish and rubble removal, for instance, you need to ask if this will be included in the price. The debris and rubble from any construction work should be disposed of in a safe and controlled fashion, in line with local regulations, and this can be a costly extra if it is not included in the final quote.

Another aspect to look at is the finish, style and design of any fittings and fixtures that you require. This is something that ought to be clarified on your written brief that is given to the builders to allow them to procure these accessories and include them in their quotation. If the price quote does not specify your specifications you may finish up with a cheaper alternative to reduce costs.

Once you have settled on a builder and accepted their estimate there's one more bit of paperwork to deal with. A contract should now be drawn up by the building company to set out details of the work. This will likely include points such as; responsibilities in clearing the site before work starts and on completion, what materials are to be used, details of fittings and fixtures, and there should also be a resolution for any issues or snags. The contract should declare the warranty period that you get and precisely what the builder's guarantee covers with regards to their work and/or materials used for the project.

The contract will also specify how and when payments should be made for the work in question. It's possible that you might be asked for a deposit, but don't pay any significant sums of money prior to work commencing. Bigger building projects are normally paid for in stages, and you will pay on completion of each stage and only when you're happy that the stage has been carried out correctly.

A snagging list of any minor faults can be compiled during a final inspection of the finished project which will involve the builder and the client. This snagging list should pinpoint any issues that need rectifying in line with the terms of the contract that was agreed by both sides before construction work started. A final inspection doesn't have the aim of picking fault with the work, but is done to take care of any concerns about the finished building project and the means by which to correct them. When all work is finished, the snagging list has been done and the site has been cleared of materials and tools, the final payment can be made.

It is unfortunate that quite a few construction projects go wrong due to poor communication between builder and client. At all times you need to be able to discuss any problems or changes in your project with your builders, and you must do this the minute something crops up. If you've got a good line of communication with your builder you're less inclined to wait around for the "right" time to talk to them, especially since the longer an issue is left to fester, the more complicated it is to put right.

It is entirely possible that you will be living and in close dialogue with your building company on a day to day basis for some period of time, on a substantial project. You must have complete trust and understanding in this case with your Thrapston builders and their workforce. You can accomplish this by reviewing a building company's memberships and affiliations of professional organisations, and enquiring about exactly what qualifications and experience their workforce has.
