We are doing a demolition and rebuild, and I need to get some quotes from reliable trades. We don't know many people in the business in Perth, and none of our friends have built or done much renovating, so I'm hoping some of you here can give me some good "word of mouth" recommendations.
We need a quote on paving - from driveway and crossover, all the way around the house and pool area/alfresco. So it will be a pretty big job.
TIling - internal living areas of the house, as well as maybe the portico wall outside (if I can convince husband of aesthetics) and the splash back wall behind the cooker. (wet areas will be done by the building company).
Rendered wall - we are on a corner block, so need a fairly large wall around 2 sides of the property. Thinking of a rendered wall with slats in the top 1/4 or so, plus 2 gates. Or maybe the modular wall system, but would need that installed too, so need quotes to decide. Or advice on why one is going to be better than the other.
Can anyone recommend decent companies or individuals that I can approach? I need the quote to put in to the bank for finance, but would prefer to acutally use the same person when it comes to doing the work in 6 months or so too. I don't want to go to one company now for a "professional" looking elevated quote then get someone off Gumtree to do the work. I'd prefer to deal with the one reputable person and have a decent working relationship with them for these big jobs. (Especially after having read the other thread about this). I think I'm quite good to work for!
