By Douglas Bell


There are some things that you should consider when looking for building contractor. It is recommended to have 3 bids for your construction project before choosing which contractor to go for. One thing that you ought to know about custom homes is that they require experience. Thus, it is important that the New Hampshire home builder should be experienced.

Most of these professionals have websites where they advertise all the services that they offer. They also have their contact information on the site which potential clients use to reach them. Customer reviews are one of the best resources to know whether the contractor is good or not since customers cannot all lie.

Ensure that the building expert has a valid license. A local agency which regulates these experts will help in finding out whether the contractor is licensed. You should not go for an expert who is not licensed.

It is important that the building expert should have a liability cover. The insurance should cover any claims or damaged property that may be present. You should be provided with a proof that their employees are compensated in case of any injuries arising when at work.

For you to get detailed information about the contractor, you should ask for his resume. With it, you can, at least, be able to see his level of education, his type of training and the general work experience. Included in the resume should also be his financial stability, his address, and credit rank. In the resume, you should be able to see details of other clients that he has worked for in the past. You can choose to contact them or go to a government department that can help you find out if any of the contractors previous customers have had any complaints about him.

Do not always believe what you hear from him and other people. Make a point of visiting one of his projects to determine their quality. This will give you a clear picture of what to expect when you give him the contract. Look at how he handles his employees, other resources that he has, his time and money. The last thing that you want is a lazy person who misuses everything and everyone.

The references provided by the building expert from previous projects will help in making contacts. You should ask relevant questions to the references. You should inquire about the response of the contractor in case a problem occurs, whether they met the building plan if there were any issues with the crew members, whether the contractor was present physically or by phone and if the project passed the inspection procedures. An important question that you ought to ask is whether the client would hire the building expert again. It is also important knowing about the terms of payment.

Once you have the right person with you, then you should sign a contract. It should contain details of the project, how you want it done, the time frame, costs and terms of payment among others. Both of you should read it and sign it before the commencement of the project. This will help avoid any conflicts that would arise just in case there is a misunderstanding.
