Can a Building Control Surveyor recommend a suitable builder?
No, unfortunately we are unable to recommend one builder over another as we have to remain impartial. We would recommend that you select your builder by talking to previous clients. Low estimates are not always an assurance of a good deal. You should agree the extent of the works with your builder at the outset by agreeing a simple contract with your selected builder. This can include, for example, the estimate, likely duration of the works and details of when payments are due. As soon as the works are completed to our satisfaction we will issue a Completion Certificate. Try to agree with your builder to defer your final payment until we have issued our Certificate.
