When you’re searching for an industrial builder, it can be challenging to find a team that specifically meets your needs. Whether you’re constructing a new building or making compliance changes, it’s essential to onboard a company that completely understands what you need to achieve from your project.
Thankfully, finding a reputable industrial builder doesn’t have to be difficult, especially if you ask the right questions. With years of experience in industrial construction, Preston Builder has the expertise to help you ask the right questions from the start.
Here are some questions you could ask an industrial construction company:
How long have you been in business? When you’re looking for an industrial builder, it’s important to know how long they have been in business. Hiring an experienced industrial builder makes a world of difference and could be the key to ensuring your project is completed efficiently, on time, and to the highest standards.
What is your experience with projects like mine? When you’re undertaking a new industrial project, experience is everything. Seeing examples of other projects like yours that have been completed can give you confidence in their ability to deliver exactly what you want.
Can you provide any references from past clients? References and reviews from past clients can also give you insight into the builder’s reputation and quality of workmanship.
Do you have all relevant licences and insurances? For legal compliance and to protect yourself, it’s vital that your industrial builder is fully licenced and holds all relevant insurances.
How do you communicate project progress and updates? Who will be my main contact? Who will you be dealing with during the project’s lifespan? Clear communication is crucial so you can stay informed throughout the project.
What is your availability for this project? Ask yourself, how soon do you want to start? Industrial builders may not be available immediately, so checking their availability ensures they can meet your project timeline.
Can you provide a timeline for this project? How long the project will take is just as important as when they can begin. Working with your builder to discuss an expected timeline will ensure everyone’s expectations are met.
Do you use sub-contractors, if so, how do you vet them? Many builders use sub-contractors to finish certain aspects of the project. Asking how they vet them and how long they have had a working relationship will give you more confidence in their ability in the quality and reliability of their work.
Do you handle all the permits and inspections? Confirming that the builder manages permits and inspections can save you time and ensure compliance with local regulations. It’s one less thing you need to think about!
What is your payment schedule? Understanding the payment schedule is crucial for managing your budget effectively. A clear payment schedule ensures that you know when payments are due and can plan your finances in advance. It also helps in maintaining a good working relationship with your builder, as both parties are clear on the financial expectations.
