We are a multi-discipline subcontracting construction company, providing a wide range of services to the building and allied industry in Mauritius, the Indian Ocean region, Dubai and beyond.
If you are planning some renovation work, you know that this is a delicate job and the best thing to do is to require the services of a highly qualified professional construction company in Mauritius.
Therefore, selecting a specialized renovation contractor is one of the most important decisions you will make for your home, building or property. Professionalism, experience and quality workmanship should influence as much as the price in your decision. We advise you not to hurry and invest the necessary time to follow these steps and finally make a good decision.
Steps to choose a contractor
- Start by making a list of potential construction / renovation contractors.
- Verify that they are in legal situation for your work.
- Ask about your project supervision and quality control procedures.
- Ask for the name of the person who will be in charge of the project, how many workers will be needed, and how long it will take approximately to complete it.
- Make sure you choose a company committed to the safety and training of its workers. Ask the contractor what type of safety training they provide to their workers.
- Get references on the latest projects they have worked on.
Before starting the repair
- Select the best materials. Ask for the names of the brands, useful life, thickness, design and available colours.
- Read the type of guarantees offered for the renovation, and keep in mind the provisions that would be needed cancel them.
- Insist that you receive a written and detailed estimate, clearly indicating the amount of materials needed, labour charges, job specifications, and also include the approximate dates of start and end, and payment options.
After hiring a construction contractor
Keep all the paperwork related to your project in one place.
This includes:
- The copies of the contract.
- All correspondence with the professionals in charge of the remodelling of your home.
- A record of all payments. You may need them for tax purposes.
Create a spreadsheet to record all purchases, rentals and outsourced services. You may also want to take pictures as the work progresses. These records will be very useful if problems arise with your project – during or when the renovation is finished.
