Choosing A Builder Is Important For Your Building Your Home!
No matter how big, or small, your operation is, selecting the right general contractor is very important to the success of your construction programs and projects. When there are so many different companies to choose from, you will need to know how to separate out the ones who leave the job without finishing everything and stick you with a bill that is much too high for the quality of work done.
The tips I have listed below will give you some great ideas on how to ensure you are hiring the right person and not getting stuck with someone who won't do a good job.
The best advice is to interview at least 3 construction managers before deciding on any of them for your construction project and don't allow them to be shifty in any of their answers or change topics either. Their reputation should be impeccable and you should be able to find a clean file at the BBB to make sure they will do what you want them to do, so you have some redress if they don't.
One sure fire way to tell that a contractor takes their own business seriously is if they answer any and all questions you have in a prompt and thorough manner. Just for starters you should be asking questions pertaining to labor, time, contracts, disputes, expenses, and materials, but do not limit yourself to only those topics either.
Another great way to test if the contractor you have in mind is any good is their initial reaction to your question regarding local references. As you mention the code you know, the un-confident contractors may even withdraw a bit and not be too eager to provide their references. Once you check out their references and they all look good, and if you are confident in them after the interview you can make your hiring decision at that time.
If you investigate and see that the references they have given you are genuine and mostly positive, then it would probably be a good idea to hire them. As in many cases, if you have a hunch about a contractor you should probably follow it, because it may just be right. - 23305
