all construction companies are the same. Here are
tips for selecting a construction company

1. Ask for the construction companys office
   paperwork and work samples as sign of their
   professionalism. Bills, bids and contracts must
   be detailed and clear. 
2. Know how the construction company efficiently
   handles communication. try calling them and
   observe whether your calls are returned
   promptly. 
3. Ask if they are currently remodeling or building
   a home in progress if so, request if you can see
   it. See to it that you can talk to the home
   owners and ask if they are contented with the
   contractors service and job.

• 4. Ask how many building projects like yours have
  they completed as this will aid you in
  determining how familiar are they with your kind
  of project.

  maintains a minimum of 1,000,000.00 dollars in
  contractors general liability insurance and all
  their employees are covered under the workers
  compensation insurance.

  the capability to handle and complete the

  company for you, be clear of your expectations
  and be honest regarding your budget. Constant
  communication is important. Set a definite
  schedule for meetings. 
• 8. Determine what precisely you want then make
  sure to put it in writing. Remember, if anything
  is not well-defined, it can be easily maneuvered
  and can always be disputed.

  project, because the contractor will no longer
  have the incentive to complete or even begin the
  project. As a rule, you only have to pay 10
  percent for a down payment.
