Carrying out a quality construction project on time and without unpleasant surprises is perfectly possible—if you take the right steps from the start.
Here are 7 essential tips to ensure your construction project runs smoothly, based on our FCK experience with hundreds of satisfied clients:
1. Start with a project and measurement map
Many people skip this step, but a detailed project and measurement map (including quantities, materials, brands, and labor) is your best ally to ensure transparency and avoid surprises.
2. Is the measurement map a cost? No: it’s an investment!
Having a measurement map:
- Allows for fair comparison of budgets
- Prevents surprises with “additional work”
- Helps to weed out unreliable companies
- Reduces risks and costs during execution
3. How to choose the right company?
Nothing replaces trust. Prefer companies recommended by close acquaintances and check if they have a license (IMPIC). Visit previous projects, meet the technical team, analyze the portfolio, and inquire about the company’s financial status.
4. Request (at least) 3 budgets
If you already have the measurement map, this comparison becomes simple. Avoid vague budgets; detailed proposals demonstrate professionalism.
5. Formalize everything by contract
The contract should include:
- Project and budget
- Payment conditions
- Start and completion dates
- Mandatory insurance
- Project managers
6. Monitor the execution of the project
Require prior communication to neighbors and set a fixed day with the company for weekly follow-up meetings. This prevents misunderstandings and corrects deviations in time.
7. Project completed? Formalize the reception
At the end of the project, prepare a provisional reception report, noting what needs to be corrected and the respective deadlines.
