FAQ
Contracting FAQs
Questions clients ask when appointing a building contractor.
What does a main contractor do?
A main contractor takes overall responsibility for delivering the building work: planning the programme, employing or appointing the trades, buying materials, managing the site and handing over the finished project.
Do you work with architects and surveyors?
Yes. We regularly build to architects' and surveyors' specifications and can attend design meetings to advise on buildability and cost.
What type of contract do you use?
For most private projects we use a clear written contract setting out the scope, price, programme and stage payments. For larger jobs we can work with standard industry forms if your consultant prefers.
How are payments structured?
Payments are linked to stages or valuations of completed work, agreed in advance. We don't ask for large up-front sums for work that hasn't started.
Can you work in an occupied office or shop?
Yes. We can phase the work, work out of hours and keep fire escapes and access routes open so the business keeps trading.
Do flat conversions need Building Regulations approval?
Yes. Converting a house into flats is a material change of use and needs Building Regulations approval for fire safety, sound insulation and more. Planning permission is usually needed too.
What happens if the scope changes?
Changes are recorded as variations, priced and agreed in writing before the work goes ahead, so the final account isn't a surprise.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the size of the job and our current programme. We'll give you a realistic start date with your quote.
Are you insured as a contractor?
We provide our insurance certificates on request before a contract is signed, and we recommend you check them as part of comparing contractors.
