When hiring a contractor, there are certain indicators that will let you know that you are moving in the right direction. Here is a list of five simple protocols that a qualified contractor will almost always go through prior to the start of a job.
-
Give a quote after seeing the actual scope of work. A sight unseen quote rarely ends well for either party.
-
Clarifies the quality of materials used/desired by the client and confirm the exact type of fixtures and finishings desired, prior to purchasing them. At this time daily work hours and job site access points should be confirmed.
-
Presents all necessary state mandated documents and executes a project contract review prior to signing. Both parties should be present in order to clarify any questions or concerns.
-
Presents an overall project timeline
-
Confirms the desired frequency of progress reports (either daily or weekly)
