Top tips to find a residential builder

• Use JuggleFrogs local builders search
• Ask local friends and family for recommendations
• Ask neighbours for builder recommendation
• Ask the builder for references - check them out
• Cheapest price is not always best value and most expensive does not equal quality
• For more complex jobs, put the work requirement in writing, this helps you to clarify what you want and shows the builder what you need - great help if you are to get comparable quotations
• Where possible get multiple quotations, this can seem a pain but this will give you quotes to compare so you can make a more rounded decision when choosing which residential builder to use. 
• Check out any Trade Association memberships the builder has

Above all ask the builder as many questions as you need - a good residential builder will be happy to spend time with you and answer all of your questions. They should also be able to give you useful ideas in relation to the building project you want to carry out.

When deciding which residential builder to contract be sure to weigh up the benefits of working with one builder over another builder. If they offer more experience, or proof that they can do the job you want with the quality of workmanship you require, it might be worth paying those extra few pounds or waiting longer for them to start the job.
