How can one get competent builders/contractors?

[tyrim88]

The best way to get a good contactors is to ask for their portfolio. That is the jobs that they have done in the past. And you must make sure that you inspect it with this method you will be sure if they good or not

Another thing is to locate their professional body and make proper enquiry about the competence of the builder in question,and you can also look at their catalouge of jobs they have delivered.

Building quality Houses in the real Estate sector is becoming a thing of the past due to the proliferation of incompetent contractors that do shody jobs and expects to be paid in full their fees.
When building a house these days, you have to be very careful of the contractor you contracts for the job.
Having said this, the real challenge remains how to get competent contractor for a building job. This is the name of this post, so guys how do we make sure that the contractors we are getting to our building project is competent?

Advertise.
There are so many contractors and builders on job sites online.
You can get them interviewed and make your decision on who to pick for the job.

Buildings that you see and admire their architectural design, structure are built by people. One needs to go extra mile in tracking such competent people and employing there services.

If you’re a General Contractor, you really should also be pursuing jobs as a Subcontractor. The best part about being a GC/Subcontractor is that you have a long list of Subcontractors to perform the work for you. You can hire these guys at a discounted rate, labor only, and just manage materials and overall management of projects

It's difficult to get a competent builders or contractors these days. I feel for one to be sure of a competent contractor, he or she can ask around from friends and families.

Competency is not an easy feat but it's actually possible to find too, one is to look at those who have done what you want to do and make enquires about how they went about with it, that would be easier than starting out fresh

In real estate development you don't limit your self to one contractor
You try to inquire about their past project, create time for your self to visit these places and try to confirm if truely what the contractor claim is his.

The point is that you may not likely be able to get a person that is hundred percent, and even if you have someone now you may not really be sure of the person's ability until you test to understand what the person can do.

A majority of the people who are going to be employed are going to the people who are locals because it is going to be cheaper. This means that the best way to get this kind of people is through traditional means of advertising that posting of flyers and making advertisement in radios.

This can be done by getting past records of contractors around you. Once you get on touch with property owners nearby or visit your local authorities, you'll definitely get details of houses built around for a particular period of time.

Getting referrals is one of the best ways to get honest contractors in real estate. But that is not all, and if possible you should create time to personally supervise any work that is ongoing, or go for inspections once in a while.

Try as much as you can to work with seasoned builders and professionals. Those ones that have been in the industry for close to 15 years. They might be expensive to pay but that cost is worth it.

First and foremost, you need to check the properties developed by the builder or contractor, you also need to see how many years the builder or contractor has been in the business.

Getting a contractor could be a really hard thing to do. This is because in many cases, the contractor may also cheat the owner when it comes to financial matters.

There are platforms online where you can get highly qualified builders. You can also approach some real estate agent and find out, but they are not that hard to contact.

I prefer the age long method of getting builders referred by friends and relatives. I don't do online with building structures. If anything goes south, you would take the blame for hiring builders online.

You can get them based on the reputation they have because every contractor or building companies always have a reputation from different people so you can use that to judge them
