> "I’m project managing a 75m2 extension, and of course groundworks are a key first step. I spent time searching for a contractor, and in the end John was a great find. John took on all the groundwork’s coordinating delivery up to DPC. John has a great work ethic and managed to deliver the groundwork’s despite some awful weather. The project is ready for the next phase, and Johns part was delivered on time and on budget. I have some more groundwork’s in the summer and I won’t hesitate to use John again."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
