Here are some additional
aspects that need to be kept in mind during the comparison stage that can help
you to make the right choice, in your efforts to locate a genuine developer.
Website
Visit their website to know
whether they have good reputation and who are their clients. Ask for those
references and see if you can view work they have done previously that is
similar to the project you are starting. This will give you the opportunity to
speak to other clients and look at the quantity and durability of the work. Word-of-mouth
referrals from other societies who have recently and successfully undergone
redevelopment can also be an important source.
Experience
As within any profession, a
builder will have a certain amount of experience for their progression within
the trade. This experience is what the well known and reputed Builder will draw
upon when redevelopment project is undertaken and that is why it is important
to hire an eminent builder who has the type of experienced team you can rely
upon.
Knowledge
A professional builder will
always do their best to ensure that they have high level of knowledge
throughout every part of their work and service. This means that not only will
they have the necessary technical knowledge but they will also have knowledge
of other professional local tradesmen working within the area, various permits
required in the construction work being undertaken on your property and the
specialized building regulations which will need to be adhered to at all times
during the construction work. This in-depth knowledge possessed by the
professional Builder will help guarantee that your construction work will be at
the right time, using the right materials for the right price.
Workload
Good Builder are always in
demand and always busy. They never turn up on your doorstep asking if they can
undertake your redevelopment project. If a builder knocks on your door and offers
to do a job, turn them away.
Plans
A professional builder adheres
to the plans and ensures that no unauthorized construction is carried out which
may subject the society for distasteful and repulsive action from the municipal
authorities at a later date. Builders who don’t want to work from plans should
be regarded with suspicion-particularly as the planning department and building
regulations officers will want to ensure that the building is going up exactly
as approved. Given the complexities involved in real estate market, there is no
single standard solution in redevelopment. However, selecting a good and
reliable developer can be a first major step towards successful completion.
