Hiring a building contractor

Match the job to the team

Many building contractors will tell you that there is ‘no job too big or too small.’ The reality is that is just a throwaway marketing slogan. And yes, while they will certainly quote on any job that comes their way, the truth is that different contractors are equipped for different jobs.

Start at the beginning

Generally speaking when you are building you will need an architect to draw plans for the job. This is a part of making sure that your vision is communicated to the people doing the work in a form that they understand

The cost of hiring a builder

Every dream that is conceived in the head of a property owner will inevitably need to be curtailed by what can actually be afforded. Costing the job is critically important but beware of simply plumping for the cheapest option. Make sure that you get at least two, ideally three quotes for the work that you are looking to do.
