Canberra builders

Building a new home or starting a renovation project is a major undertaking. You'll want the best professionals for the job your money can buy. Searching for accredited Canberra builders can be painstaking.

Here are some tips to help you find the right one for your budget:

• Ask friends or family who they used, they'll give you a straight-up, honest opinion
• Get at least 3 quotes from separate builders for your project
• Only use a licensed builder - if they can't supply a license number, don't deal with them
• Ensure they have builder's warranty insurance which covers incomplete and defective work

Questions to ask your builder

Once you've settled on a builder, ask them what work they've done in the past and get some references. What happens if the work is defective? Who is responsible for cleaning up the building site?

You'll also want to ask about their current work load and what time they will dedicate to your job. It is essential you find out how much money they'll need up front as a deposit and how often progress payments are made.
