Hi m


your builder have drawn up a comprehensive con­ tract and plan of work. Be clear about what you want, discuss all the options and make your decisions long before work begins - changing your mind about design or structural decisions will not only cost you money and cause delays but also potentially lead to ill feeling between you and the builder. If any changes are needed dur­ ing the job, make sure they are agreed an d ' priced in writing, to avoid any unpleasant surprises at the end of the job. Remember to book


early - the best builders are overwhelmed with clients FMB on 020 7242 7583 or www.fmb.org.uk
