How to Pick the Right Builder

Finding the right contractor isn’t just about picking someone with a flashy website—it’s like choosing the producer for your track, and it’s critical to your project’s success. Veteran quantity surveyor Tim Phillips says start local: builders nearby are more reliable, know the rules, and have strong networks. Tap into your network—plumbers, electricians, even your local builders’ merchant—these insiders know who’s trustworthy. When reviewing quotes, demand consistency in the plan and watch out for suspiciously low prices that often hide hidden costs. Building is a team sport: invest time upfront to build a solid, communicative relationship with your contractor, and your whole project will thank you.
