The Risks of Home Improvement
Avoid These Common
Home Renovation Pitfalls
Choosing the Right Builder Can Be a Minefield
Embarking on a home improvement project can feel overwhelming. Finding a reliable builder is crucial, but it’s not always easy. Relying solely on trade accreditations, which builders often pay for, doesn’t guarantee quality or integrity. Even personal recommendations can fall short. And what about the risk of overpaying or, worse, facing a builder who goes bust or holds you to ransom for extra cash?
PROTECT MY BUILD tackles these challenges head-on
We provide a robust framework for your project, ensuring fair payments and offering expert support throughout the process.
Common Pitfalls We Help You Avoid:
Unreliable Contractors: We help you establish a clear and legally sound contract, setting the stage for a successful project.
Stage Payment Confusion: Knowing when and how much to pay can be tricky. We’ll work with you and your builder to create a clear payment schedule, linked to specific project milestones.
The Perils of Upfront Payments: Paying large sums upfront is risky. Our secure escrow service ensures your money is safe and only released when work is completed to your satisfaction.
Disputes and Delays: Disagreements with your builder can be stressful and costly. PROTECT MY BUILD provides expert mediation and, if needed, access to efficient Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to keep your project on track.
Essential Considerations
Before you start, there are important steps like securing planning permission, adhering to building regulations, and informing your mortgage lender and insurance provider. PROTECT MY BUILD can guide you through these essential considerations, ensuring your project is compliant and your investment is protected.
