Employing
a Local Builder |
|
|
If
you are employing a local builder or even doing the construction
yourself - your next step would be to set up an account with
the building material suppliers in your area. This will enable
you to get 'trade' rates and ensure a steady flow of materials
to your site. Make a list of materials, equipments and labour
that you may need and contact the local suppliers and agencies
for the best bargain.
Hiring
the Right Contractor is one of the most important things at
the start of your House Construction. However good your design
and technical consultants are, if the contractor turns out to
be incompetent, it will lead you to great frustration and financial
loss. |

On
the other hand, even if you don't have proper drawings or
schedule made, a good contractor can build your home without
a glitch. The only way to find the best suited contractor
for your residence is reference. Find at least 3 home-owners
who had previously employed the contractor's services, sit
down with them for a talk and inspect the finished houses.
If the contractor cannot give you good references, or if he
says that the reference is not available, travelling abroad,
or seriously ill, it could be risky to take your chances with
him.
