Now the market for construction services is represented by a huge number of organizations and firms engaged in repair and construction work. How not to make the wrong choice and not pay twice for poorly performed work? Just find a good construction company.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your search by collecting information about the construction services market in your area, and do not call the first ad that comes across. The chance that you will contact a reliable company in this case is small, even if all media and all stands in your locality are filled with advertising of this company.
Step 2
List all companies in your city or area. Please note that the narrow specialization of the company does not mean good or bad quality of the services provided.
Step 3
Make an estimate so that, according to the data collected, you will be aware of the approximate cost of the set of services that you need.
Step 4
Contact one of the firms. Ask immediately if the construction organization has a license and permission to carry out work, which are indicated in the company's price list. Ask how long she has been providing these services. Of course, organizations that have been working in this service sector for several years deserve more trust than beginners. If builders or finishers come from the countries of the Near Abroad, think a hundred times before hiring them. Besides the mass of overhead costs, you may be frustrated by the poor quality of their work, at least because only a few of them are licensed to do them.
Step 5
Ask for a review book or contact former customers in advance to gather information about the company. Personally make sure of the quality of the work done by visiting one or two objects that this company has built or repaired.
Step 6
Find out what materials and equipment are usually used in the course of work.
Step 7
If you are satisfied with the quality of services provided by one of the companies, before concluding a contract, discuss the following points with its representatives:
- operating schedule;
- scope of work;
- supply of materials (Sometimes the customers themselves provide workers with everything they need.);
- possible excess of the original estimate;
- utilization of construction waste.
Step 8
Sign a contract.
