How to find a solid construction team?

Finding a reliable construction team is a big challenge. It is worth looking for a minimum of 2-3 months before the planned start of building a house. We will have time to check the qualifications of professionals, as well as match all terms. What to look for when choosing a construction team?

Choosing a construction team is a key decision if we intend to build a house, because the course of construction works largely depends on the qualifications and commitment of professionals. And yet we would like the implementation of the project not only quickly and without problem, but also that the house would be built in accordance with the art of construction and in accordance with our expectations. Remember that we conclude a contract with contractors only in writing.

When to look for a construction team?

It may seem strange, and if we intend to move the house in spring, then we should start a construction team searching for a lot – in autumn. Solid and recommended professionals have terms sometimes occupied even for a few months forward. In addition, early market recognition will allow us to make a well -thought -out decision, check references or calm conversation with the company owner. However, if we do not have all formal matters dealt with, do not sign the contract with the contractor. Despite our best intentions and efforts, the procedures may prolong, which will delay the start of the construction of the house – the contractor will be able to demand compensation for the profits lost during downtime, of course he can also resign from the service.

Where to look for a construction team?

We should start looking for a construction team by recognizing among family, acquaintances and acquaintances who have already faced building a house. Satisfied customers are the best recommendations, in addition, we will be able to check personally completed works – not only from the outside but also inside. If we do not have such an opportunity, it is a good solution to look for a construction crew on online construction forums – other investors will certainly come to the rescue and share their experiences. We can also ask about local professionals in building wholesalers, as well as producers of building materials. Recommended by company manufacturers, they usually completed specialized training and obtained appropriate certificates. We can unexpectedly visit the construction teams we choose at the current construction site and see the quality of work performed and whether there is order in the square (this also provides the quality of the services offered). If we have the opportunity, let’s talk to the company’s clients, ask about the quality of services or keeping deadlines. Remember that advertising even in the best construction warehouse or website is not confirmed by the company’s reliability, because everyone can advertise and the publisher is not responsible for the content of the ads.

How to assess professional preparation

Selected contractors should be found and talk about the project, its specification and implementation time. If a specialist is unable to determine the date of commencement of works or their duration, in addition, he has a negligible idea about the solutions used in the project, it is better to immediately give up his services. We will ask each contractor to make a cost estimate – we will be able to choose the optimal offer, in addition, it will allow us to discern in price, qualitative and communication standards. Remember to determine exactly what we require, e.g. whether we expect a raw condition together with the roofing, e.g. from or without roofing tiles, whether the company is also to value the installation of windows, doors and installation. It is also worth finding out about the qualifications of employees, whether it is a permanent team, or if they are people who are just learning. In the case of a construction team, it is important that knowledge is current, so let’s ask if employees take part in trainings and specialist, certified workshops raising their skills. Let’s also ask about construction equipment. We recognize a professional by the fact that he uses good quality tools that serve him for a long time, and the work is done precisely. We can also ask the owner of a construction company for written references of other investors. In addition, let’s check that the company is registered, there are no debts or court proceedings.
