Requirements to Prepare Before Looking for a General Contractor

Choosing the best contractor from a design and build company is crucial and affects the success of your project as a whole. Selecting the best contractor for the task is an important first step in your planning process. Make sure to check the caliber of their work in advance, specify in writing the tasks you want to be completed and the project's parameters, and find out if the contractor is duly registered and insured in case something goes wrong. A trustworthy contractor can effectively handle the demands of your project. Here's a guide to help you prepare the necessary requirements to find the ideal people to work on your project, whether you're looking for contractors now or anticipate doing so in the future.

• Business Permits

Make sure you're working with a legitimate contractor at all times. Try to find their business permits such as barangay permits, mayor permits, and PCAB licenses, and if the contractor is DTI registered, you may want to check the Department of Trade and Industry website to make sure you are truly working with a DTI Registered Company.

• Construction Contract

Make sure you comprehend all of the terms of the contract. If you have a specific addition you'd like to make to your construction bond, you may always ask the contractor or amend it.  Applying for building permits, providing temporary utilities on-site, managing people on-site, and supplying site materials are all tasks that house contractors in the Philippines are responsible for. With that being mentioned, it is important to find a contractor that is easy to communicate with. You want to ensure that your contractor is an effective communicator from the moment you first get in touch with them. It is expected from your contractor to respond to your queries at all times and as timely as possible. In addition to responding to your queries, it is also important that they attend to them and make the necessary actions for a smooth flow of the project at hand.

• Insurance

Verify the contractor's insurance and bonding details. Request a certificate of insurance (COI) from the contractor, which should include the name of the insurer, the policy number, and the policy limits the contractor holds. To check sure the policy is still in force and to confirm the coverage, you can get in touch with the insurance provider directly. Dealings should not be made with contractors who lack the necessary insurance. You can be held responsible for incidents that take place on your property if the contractor is not insured.
