What checks can an owner-builder make on a builder or tradesperson?
The owner-builder may call the Office of Fair Trading and do a license check. If the builder or tradesperson is a member of the HIA or MBA, the owner-builder may contact the organization to confirm current membership. It is also advisable for the owner-builder to inspect some examples of the builder or tradespersons recent works before making a decision to enter into the contract with the builder or tradesperson.
