Once you have the four contacts it is then down to you to contact each one and find out the relevant answers to the vital questions before any final decisions are made. You should consider asking each building firm;

1.    What previous experience do you have on projects similar to mine?

If you can get a confident answer with a number of case studies highlighted you are on the road to success in finding the most suitable builder for you.

2.    Will you work in line my budget?

This may seem like an obvious question to ask, however if you can’t get a commitment from the builder to stick to the money you have available then they are definitely not the team for you.

3.    How much input will I have?

This is your construction project on your property, so make sure you are able to give as much input into what you hope to see as the end result as you possibly can.

4.    How long will it take?

This may be difficult to judge, however an experienced building firm who have worked on builds such as yours in the past should be able to give you a definitive time period from start to finish.

5.    When can you start?

If you are happy with the answers you have received, the final key question is to ask when they are able to start.

Here at Find a Builder we strongly believe that asking these five questions to the four contacts we will provide you with, will ensure the most suitable firm is chosen and the best building Brisbane is completed every time.

1. You should find a builder you can easily communicate with, with all the correct qualifications and who brings enthusiasm to the job. (Find a Builder specialises in this).

2. You should make your plans before the build and commit to them.  Constant changes will knock you off target for your budget. Additionally, alterations take up time and slow down overall progress on the build. This can all be avoided by discussing your plans before your build begins. (Find a Builder facilitates communication between builder and client).

3. Make sure that you are realistic with your budget, schedule and your expectations.  Communication is the key to a successful partnership with your builder, so make sure that you start it early and keep in the loop!

Can you please give us an estimate of the costs to use Find a Builder as well as how to get things started.

As the owner of the property it is your responsibility to implement protection procedures if your construction site is close to or adjoining neighbouring properties.  This rule has been designed to ensure that your neighbours properties are not damaged in any way shape or form by your planned construction.

If a builder wishes to be registered with Find a Builder, they must supply us with references and official documentation stating that they are certified. As this is such a strict requirement, all customers should not hesitate to ask their builders for their certifications and references.
