A: Here are some factors you should consider when choosing
a contractor:
- references
- workmanship quality
- professionalism
- communication abilities
- member of a building association
Finding a contractor with whom you can develop a strong, trusting working relationship is key.
Next time you consider a construction project, ask yourself
these important questions:
Do
you trust your contractor?
Will
the structure look great and stand the test of time.
What type of warranty will you receive, and will the contractor be in business long enough to back that
warranty?
Will the job be
carried out safely, and efficiently?
Are all the legal bases covered; protecting you, your family, and clients?
If you choose
Bracey Building Contractors Inc, the answer to all these questions is YES.
Q: Do we need plans?
A:
All projects need plans. This helps eliminate confusion for all involved in the renovation project (the clients, project manager
and trades people).
Q: Do we
need permits?
A: For decorating, you don't need a permit as long as you’re not moving or adding
anything. If plumbing, electrical components and gas lines require movement then you need a permit. The contractor will take
care of the permit process for you, and coordinate the inspections.
Q: Do we need to sign a contract?
A:Yes, you should always have a written agreement between you and your contractor which outlines the scope
of work, warrantees, timelines, budgets, liability etc. There needs to be a clear picture of what the contractor is providing.
Q: How long will my project take?
A: Once the design has been finalized, we can give you a good estimate of when we’ll finish your project.
As a guideline, renovations take several weeks to several months depending on many factors including the level of detail,
size and complexity of your project.
