Builders in Brisbane

Working with a builder.

Make sure you get the best results by knowing how to work with your Brisbane builder during the contruction phase.

Here are just a few points to keep in the back of your mind after choosing a Brisbane-based builder to undertake your project...

Assess the building company or contractor before signing any paperwork. Request various references and get in touch with them to get an unbiased overview of the building company. Also seek professional advice from a solicitor experienced in assessing building contracts to completely peruse the document prior to signing.

Ensure that the builder knows the building site and how the designs relate to it, as this can affect the final quote of the construction job.

During the construction phase, be familiar with the progress of the project and address anything that seems incorrect as soon as possible. If any problems are not swiftly corrected, notify the builders via written correspondance to make sure you have physical records throughout the project. This correspondance should be written politely to avoid escalating any conflict.

If any changes need to be made to the original contract, be sure that they are made in writing, overviewing all specifications and prices. Do so even if the builder assures that the changes are no problem.

Assess the job on completion and notify the builder if anything requires further attention.
