Hi everyone,
Unfortunately our builder just went into liquidation. We just finished frame stage, and paid for it. A few days later the roof was put on and we got the devastating news.
We obviously need to find a builder to finish the house. I understand builders are reluctant to take on incomplete builds, rightly so. I’m really scared to sign with any of the big builders due to the state of the industry. So I’m looking for a small construction company. I’ve been advised to not have the insurance company assign a builder as they will just get the cheapest company to do it. I’ve seen some of their work and it was awful. I understand I’m in a beggars can’t be choosers situation which makes it even more difficult. I am happy to and understand we’ll have to pay more money, especially if we choose the builder. Also I’m eager to get construction started asap as our frame is exposed to the elements, the plastic sheeting wasn’t put up. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for a smaller construction company? Or even just some advice for others who’ve been through this.
Thanks so much for reading.
