Here at RKM Construction we are not just another building company, only out for your money. We want to make sure we can assist you with getting the best advice and value for money that you possibly can.
As an established local building company in Lyme Regis, West Dorset and the covering the surrounding areas including Axminster and Seaton in East Devon and beyond, here’s our top tips on what to avoid when choosing a builder:
- When you’re doing your research, do not be driven by the cheapest quotation. It is easy to see a good figure and run with it but if it seems too good to be true it probably is! Trust your instincts here.
- Insist on a written quotation rather than a verbal contract for peace of mind.
- Do not choose a company without a registered address. Any reputable company will have some form of a fixed address.
- Do not pay for a quotation. The same way you don’t pay to view a potential property is exactly the same reason why you shouldn’t pay for a quotation!
- Do not feel pressured into signing or undertaking any works you are not comfortable or happy with. Remember to take your time and put the brakes on as much as you see fit.
- Do not choose a builder in Lyme Regis if you haven’t researched the company. Take your time and have a look online at their website, their reviews and look for photographs of the team and their projects, for complete peace of mind.
- Do not choose a builder that cannot show you previous works that they have completed. It is important for you to check the quality of the work your builder is capable of.
Many of these may seem quite obvious but with so many options and so many quotations it is easy to let your guard down. You should feel that you are able to approach your local Lyme Regis builders with ease and never feel left in the dark. Your home is your castle and it is important for any building company to respect that.
