If you’re looking to hire a commercial builder for commercial fitouts on the Gold Coast, there are a few questions you should ask before you sign a contract.

The team at Preston Building has put together a list of essential queries to help you find the right builder for your project, covering everything from experience and credentials to communication and project management.

5 questions to ask when hiring a commercial builder:

How much experience do you have with projects similar to mine?

Checking that the commercial builder has experience with similar projects to yours will help you decide if they are the right company to deliver what you need. Seeing their previous projects allows you to gauge their suitability for your project, whether it’s a completely new commercial build, a commercial fitout or compliance work.

Can you provide a clear, itemised quote and timeline?

Transparency is essential when it comes to commercial building, so being supplied with an itemised quote and timeline can be extremely helpful, both giving you a clear outline of how much to budget and how long the project will take to complete.

Are you licenced and insured for commercial building?

Not all builders have the right licences and insurances for commercial projects. Each state has its own requirements, so it’s important to check that your builder meets the necessary qualifications for your area.

How do you handle any unexpected issues that might appear during the project’s lifespan?

Understanding how the commercial builder manages changes and problems during the project can help you anticipate how they will deal with any challenges that appear along the way. It gives you an insight into their problem-solving skills and how flexible they are when things don’t go exactly to plan.

Do you have any references or reviews?

Word of mouth is everything, so checking the builder’s references and reviews can give you a good understanding of the type of builder you’re dealing with and the quality of their work.
