Employing a local builder
If you are employing a local builder or even doing the construction
yourself - your next step would be to set up an account with the
building material suppliers in your area. This will enable you to
get 'trade' rates and ensure a steady flow of materials to your
site. Make a list of materials, equipments and labour that you may
need and contact the local suppliers and agencies for the best bargain.
Hiring
the Right Contractor is one of the most important things at the
start of your House Construction. However good your design and technical
consultants are, if the contractor turns out to be incompetent,
it will lead you to great frustration and financial loss. On the
other hand, even if you don't have proper drawings or schedule made,
a good contractor can build your home without a glitch. The only
way to find the best suited contractor for your residence is reference.
Find at least 3 home-owners who had previously employed the contractor's
services, sit down with them for a talk and inspect the finished
houses. If the contractor cannot give you good references, or if
he says that the reference is not available, travelling abroad,
or seriously ill, it could be risky to take your chances with him.
