Finding a builder is one of the most essential parts of your renovation project. You might have all the plans but without a builder, nothing is going to get done in reality! However, when it comes to choosing the right builder, you should choose wisely.

We all hear terrible stories about cowboy builders who come and do a poor job and often make it dangerous to live there, as well as those who do half a job and then disappear with your money. So, in order to make sure that the builder you choose is the right one as well as making sure that you don’t get duped by a cowboy builder, here are some of the things that you can do…

Ask to see Examples of Past Work – This is a great way to get a good idea of what type of projects the company has done before, which can help you to determine whether they are suited to your project. They will likely be able to show you pictures of previous projects too.

Look online for Local Builders and Check Reviews -If you look online and search in your area you will be able to see local builders – for example, by searching building companies Bristol, you will then see builders like this www.mogfordprescott.co.uk/builders-bristol and you can then check reviews on Google.

Ask for recommendations – A great way to find builders is to ask people you know if there are any that they can recommend to you. Family or friends who have had work done that is similar to your plans are a good place to start.
