A useful checklist for choosing a construction partner. Ask to see these documents before you sign or pay.
Visit a real project
Request a completed-site visit and a client reference shared with the client's permission. Ask for dated construction photographs, project scope and the team's actual role.
Get it in writing
Ask for drawings, a detailed quotation, material specifications, inclusions, exclusions, taxes, payment milestones and a written process for changes.
Check the records
Ask who supervises the site, how materials and structural work are checked, and which test reports and inspection records will be provided.
Agree on updates
Set a reporting schedule and a contact person. Agree how delays, site decisions, additional work and payments will be recorded and approved.
Understand aftercare
Request a snag list, completion documents and written warranty terms: what is covered, exclusions, duration and the procedure for reporting defects.
Business registrations, actual project evidence and customer references are awaiting verification. No certification or warranty is established by this checklist.
