Can anyone recommend: Builder
Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a building plot and building a property in the Marina Alta area. After months of searching for the right property key ready which proved unfruitful we have decided that to get what we want it would likely have to be built from scratch. I have made contact with one or two local agents who have introduced one or two local builders to us. Unfortunately we know nothing of their work nor reputation to build what would have to be agreed at the early stage, let alone the actual construction and deliver as contracted to. That's not to say we are distrustful but simply uncomfortable entering such an undertaking without due diligence. Much of the discussions we have had, have been a little confusing which we put down to language issues or different work practices used in Spain as opposed to the UK. None we spoke to were very interested in assisting with advise on plot purchasing nor planning until commitment to buy the plot, without this we cannot even get past the first hurdle. I'm not naive as we all know many builders in the UK could not be trusted to deliver 100%, but at home there is a vehicle for re-course should things go awry during the build. For this reason we would much prefer a contractor with a British owner or senior partner as our direct contact for discussions or negotiations, before and during the build. I'd very much a appreciate it if anyone on the forum would be happy to recommend a building contractor who could provide early guidance at plot purchase and planning stage and subsequently the build itself.
Thanks in advance.
