  • Our loft extension project moving inexorably forward.

    The structural drawings complete, now to put together a schedule of works and put the work out to tender.

    I'm thinking that we shortlist 3 builders, and for due diligence have a chat with previous clients, and see if we can't find someone at the local council that might have an off-the-record opinion.

    Is there any other due diligence that we should consider? Credit checks?

  • How many jobs they're working on and who oversee's them?
    Current jobs / contract values?
    Do they subcontract out any of the work, or is it all in-house?
    Do they have all relevant insurances?

    Have you considered what form of contract you will be using? Are the contractors used to working with JCT contracts for example?
