can you post a photo or an example of what you refer to as a gorgeous home or what you are looking to be built?

That way users would be more helpful in suggesting a contractor suitable for the job

Firstly do you presently own the land you plan to build on ? If you do not then add at least 250k - 800k to your price, depending on where you want to live.

heres some advice and I don't care if any building contractor get vex with me coz my head hot with the muffler bearings who call themselves "contractors"


Sign a LEGAL document .. ( thas a given but still)

make u're presence known that YOU are PAYING them .. you are not there FRIEND ..

do not allow alcohol on u're compound ..

don't encourage alcohol .. nor drinking on site

ask them to work at least 8 hrs per day ..

do a walk about EVERY SINGLE evening with the foreman .. ensure that he make a LIST of the material needed for the rest of theweek .... also if the foreman is a BUGWAAANAAA ( which is prob 100% a probability) reccomend that he do certain jobs on certain days .. trust me on tht one ..

Make it Mandatory that they clean up afterthemsleves ..EVERY EVENING I just cleaned my backyard and I got a dred cut on my finger from them fcukers leaving a piece of iron straying ..


seirously I dunno wtf does wrong with these muddercunts you know I mean wtf they clog meh waste pipe with fcuking cement and didn't tell me and now I have a backed up pipe for the weekend ..


other than tht good luck !! building u'rehouse is awesome and it gives u a sense of accomplishment ..and ah empty bank account ...
