Builder Vs Architect
Goodenf replied to iamken's topic in Landed & Condo Private Properties Renovation Discussion
I would like to give an update on the progress of my A&A on inter terrace. We bought a 2070 sqft land with 1500 build up terrace and needed to extend front and back of the house to add build in area with additional ensuite bedroom. The search for a builder was daunting because we have architect that quoted us almost $750k to builders quoted $150k. In the end, we went with the second lowest quote because we are more comfortable with this builder. Our requirement was to be functional, minimize wastage, build the space we need and deliver on time. We wanted progressive updates matches with the payment schedule. Avoid variation orders and open communication. I have to say, my experience so far with my builder has been excellent. He is not perfect but he has a good attitude and most importantly trust worthy. He gives us comfort that he is always watching out for us and provide us with budget conscious options. The subcontractors he uses are reliable and the entire project was always need and tidy. He cultivate good relationships with my neighbors which make things easy for us. Where there are VO, the quote he source for us have been very competitive ( yes I did my comparison and research). We had to put in an RC Trench and chose to upgraded 3 phase electrical connection. We are scheduled to complete by Christmas for move in. So far he gave us confidence of the progress. Of course it's yet to be seen but I wanted to give him a fair comment up to this point. I have to agree with some of the comments that this experience is very dependent on picking the right people to work with and so far we have been quite lucky. That said, on our part, we recognize that we have to be reasonable ourselves, be collaborative and work on making this a pleasant experience for everyone. I will continue to provide updates as I progress along i hope this is helpful for anyone going through this same process as us. I am happy to help answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. -

Actually my builder managed to find me a pretty good deal and I'm very happy working with him so far. We are scheduled to move in before Christmas and looking at the progress I am confident that will be achievable. -
