Introduction
Choosing your contractor decides the success of your project more than any other decision. The cheapest quote can become the most expensive through delays, extras or poor quality, so this decision deserves your time.
Ask about the commercial registration and classification, request visits to completed projects, and make sure the quotation is itemised with quantities — not a lump sum — and that the schedule is tied to payment milestones.
Conclusion
A reliable contractor is never afraid of questions. If the answers are clear and in writing, you are on the right track — and at Rivento we welcome every one of them in your free consultation.
Key points
Transparency: an itemised quotation and written specifications for every item prevent surprises later.
Accountability: ask who the responsible engineer is and how you will reach them every day.
Warranty: ask for a written warranty on workmanship stating its duration and coverage.
Practical steps
Compare at least three quotations against the same specification, ask for the draft contract before signing, and read the clauses on delays, variations and material approvals.
After signing, agree on a weekly report with photos and progress, and joint site visits at the end of each stage before its payment is released.
