Don’t select the first company you contact, or even the second. Do your research, read online reviews and testimonials, and look for recommendations. Ask questions during your initial consultation, request access to previous works or proof of past projects in your area, and don’t be afraid to say no if you’re not happy with the answers you’re getting.
Most importantly, ask for credentials and assure yourself that they, and their subcontractors, are approved by the relevant bodies pertaining to their work. Examples include the following:
Professional building contractors will be client-focused and open to constant communication between themselves and their clients. At Topspec Joinery & Construction, we’re more than happy to answer any questions you may have and address concerns which may arise over the course of a project.
All construction companies and local contractors must be competent enough to work to deadlines and remain within their allocated budget. Going against what has been agreed is not only frustrating for the client, it paints any commercial and domestic builder in a poor light. This could result in the loss of future contracts due to disappointing reviews or recommendations.
If you’re thinking of hiring building contractors to work on your home in Harrogate, Ilkley or the surrounding areas, make sure they are fully covered with the relevant insurances, such as public liability cover and employers’ liability insurance (where relevant). FMB members can also provide additional warranties for a small administrative fee.
