Building a new home or carrying out a renovation is a significant investment, and your choice of home builders will dictate the quality of the results. It’s only important to find the builder best suited to you and your home.
Licence and Insurance
Work only with licensed builders to protect yourself and your property. A renovation has many risks as it has benefits, so make sure you are protected. Check that the insurance plan covers your financial loss. Workers’ compensation and general or public liability insurance protect you against workplace accidents.
Experience and Reputation
Check how long they have been in business and if they have experience in similar projects to yours. Read online reviews and testimonials to get a better idea of the types of services they offer. Even better, if you personally know someone who hired them, ask them about their experience.
Range of Services
A builder with a wide range of services means you can trust them to take care of all your renovation needs. Whether it’s landscaping, decking and minor alterations through to large-scale renovations, extensions, lift and builds and restorations. They should also be able to handle the council approval process and manage your entire renovation from design to completion.
Communication
To ensure that your vision is fully understood, it is important to establish good communication between you and your builder. Decide the type and frequency of your communication. Do you want daily phone calls, emails, weekly meetings? The goal is to ensure you are both on the same page from beginning to end of the project.
