Tips and Advice


BUILDING YOUR OWN HOME? BELOW ARE SOME USEFUL TIPS

  • Choose a contractor based on their reputation, portfolio and quality of work, rather than going for the lowest price
  • Make use of QDB’s “Is’alna” service to inquire about the contractor you are considering or to learn more about contracting companies chosen by other QDB clients for their homes
  • Visit sites built by the potential contractor to examine their quality
  • Ask owners living in homes built by the potential contractor about the extent to which the contractor complied with the contracts and consultant instructions
  • Be sure to contract with a reliable consultancy firm
  • Draw a timeline outlining all phases of the project and the date of delivery in agreement with the contractor and the consultant
  • Inspect and review the contracts to be signed with the contractor and seek legal counsel, if necessary
