1. Relevant track record
Ask to see completed projects similar to yours, and ask about execution details, not only photos.
2. A clearly defined scope
The contract should list each item: gypsum, flooring, painting, doors, electrical points and more. Unlisted items become disputed extras.
3. Materials and specifications
Agree on material types and brands in writing, and ask for samples before approval.
4. Schedule and payment plan
Link payments to completed milestones, not just dates.
5. Supervision and reporting
Ask who supervises daily and how progress reports and photos reach you.
6. Handling snags after handover
Ask how defects are handled and what warranty, if any, applies. Get it in writing.
7. Transparent communication
A good contractor answers clearly and documents changes before carrying them out.
FAQ
Should I pick the lowest quote? No. Compare scope and materials first; the gap is often in what was left out. When should I contact a contractor? Ideally before the structure is handed over, so plans and materials are ready. Do I need drawings before requesting a quote? Yes; clearer details produce more accurate offers.
