The first thing you should know is that they are competent. Of course. In addition, they show a passion for their work. You do not have “casual” labor market

Also, you must know that they are responsible for all professional standards

. But also remember they are guests in your home for a period of time so you should be able to feel comfortable to have them there.

In order to ensure that they are good people to work to provide you the right questions. How:

Is it possible for me to see the examples of your previous work? (Only a short drive past a current project you could provide some hints.) Do you have references from satisfied customers? (Lamps, preferably also when to do all the positive feedback from other customers.)

Do you currently have liability insurance? (This covers the cost of an accident to an audience member as a result of the construction on your property.)

Would you give me a written estimate? (Otherwise they can easily “forget” to quote the original price.) If you are writing a contract? (A JCT contract is often used).

Are you happy to accept a reserve clause? (There is a provision in a contract that you hold back a portion of the payments until the project is completed allowed.)

Are you prepared to offer insurance coverage provided? (Also available as Master Bond Guarantee, which made the work of the builder and subcontractor for a period of 10 years from the completion of these additional costs guarantees known .. About 1.5% of the total cost of use)

What is your know expertise in the particular project I will bear? (Remember the thing taken over all systems.)

If you end up paying? (Normally a deposit of 20-25%, fixtures and deposits subcontractors when special equipment and maybe a little more. Payment must be staged at the end of intervals with money, only the manufacturer of your approval of work done declined to date.)

Would you give me a completion date? (Some are still hesitant to give a start date.)

If you accept a penalty for non-compliance to end on time? (Written, of course.)

Do you agree, independent arbitration should there a conflict? (It is not expecting the worst, but you never know.)

Can I have a certificate of completion of the building control surveyor / insurer’s guarantee program, or before the last payment? (If there is no problem, it will not be a problem.)
