All of you know that hiring a contractor is a crucial part of your home renovation journey. Unfortunately, many people make mistakes in this phase of the renovation journey because they do not give enough emphasis on this factor. Having the right contractor is one of the major requirements of a successful home renovation process. In this article, I am going to mention the activities you must do to hire the best suitable contractor among all the Brisbane builders. Check it out whether you need more information regarding contractors or any other topic to smooth your renovation journey.
1. Make a list of potential contractors: Do not hire the contractor you just found through any media. You should create a list of potential contractors based on your requirements and budget. In order to do that you can utilize all the mediums, you have in your hands. The main purpose is to get enough data of at least 3 to 5 contractors who can be the contractor for your project.
2. Make questionnaires before the interview: It’s time to make questionnaires so that you can ask all the necessary questions during the interview. I suggest everyone make a written questionnaire because we often miss the important questions if we do not have any supporting material to remind us.
3. Interview them all: When you have the questionnaire ready in your hands and get the appointments to take the interview of the contractors, it’s time to take interviews one by one. Every company will be happy to give you enough time to answer your queries and give you a clear idea about their services.
4. Ask for past projects’ information: You must ask the contractors to show the information of their past projects such as photos, happy customers feedback, or testimonials. If the contractor has good past records, they will be glad to share them with you. If they fail to do so or try to convince you to say other things, you should not consider them for your project.
5. Talk with their previous clients: Advertisements create barriers when you looking for authentic information about a contractor. I recommend you to avoid all the paid advertisements although they are not all lies they have the tendency to exaggerate the offerings. Ask our contractor to share previous clients’ contracts so that you can talk with them over the phone or any other media. Thus you will be able to get much authentic feedback about the service quality of the contractor. This will definitely help you to make your decision.
6. Ask about their suppliers: Contractor impacts in your home not only with their services but also the materials they are using in your home. You should also ask about the supplies from them they will take supplies for your project. If you are satisfied with the suppliers, then there is no problem hiring the contractor for your home renovation project.
These are the activities every homeowner should adopt during hiring a contractor for their project.
