QDB provides you with certain tips and advices that guide you when dealing with your contractor, including:
Choose a contractor based on his reputation and the quality of the work he had done, not according to the lowest price possible.
Visit sites previously built by the potential contractor and examine their quality.
Ask owners living in homes built by the potential contractor about the extent to which the contractor complied with contracts and consultant instructions.
Be sure to contract with a reliable consultancy firm.
Draw a timeline outlining all phases of the project and the date of delivery.
Inspect and review the contracts to be signed with the contractor, and seek legal counsel if necessary.
Do not make any payments to the contractor without the consultant's approval.
