## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "After researching and contacting other contractors we decided to use SMQB for our Guide wall and piling. This was a major project from the start and SMQB was very informative and always kept us up to date through out. We opted for a guid wall which worked out well in making sure the piles where accurate. Overall we was please with the out come, timekeeping was good and we kept in budget."

## 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.
