Bathroom renovations in Mackay are not unusual. Part of the city holds a portion of the Great Barrier Reef, and this is what makes the area a popular tourist destination. If you are looking forward to renovating your bathroom, you need to know that not all contractors are the same.

Today, we at Australian Construction will provide you with some tips on how to choose the right contractor. Our goal is to help you save money and to empower you to hire only the best ones out there.

1. Hire Contractors Based On Recommendations

If you have friends or family members who know contractors, ask them for more information. As mentioned earlier, bathroom renovations in Mackay are not unusual. There are many commercial establishments here so there are lots of people you can ask.

Why is this important? It gives you an edge because the person you will talk to already had first-hand experience about the contractor he or she is recommending. If the performance is good, then you have assurance and evidence that you will not be wasting your money.  

2. Work With Contractors Near You

It is important that you work with contractors who have employees near you. It does not make sense to hire a contractor from Adelaide when your project is in Mackay.

At Australian Construction, we have offices in various areas. Our advantage over our competitors is that we can fulfil jobs in many cities and towns. Since we have been doing this for over 20 years, we have expanded our business offices.

As such, we have coverage in most major cities in the region, including Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin, and many other places.

3. Check If The Price Is Right

The third thing you want to look for is reasonable pricing. Many contractors will give a price quote that is way beyond the real cost of the service.

What we recommend is that you get price quotes from several contractors. Five contractors will do. Once you have these quotes, you will be able to see the average cost. Once you have the average, look for a contractor from the same list whose price is close to this average.

Of course, you must only get quotes from contractors who meet certain standards, which we have discussed in one of your blogs.

4. Look For Contractors With Insurance

The last tip we have is insurance and bond. Work with contractors that have insurance. This is the only way you can protect yourself from liabilities. The construction industry is dangerous. Accidents happen, and the last thing you want is to get into legal trouble.

The bond, on the other hand, is like an escrow. The contractor will not get his payment unless you release it. What this means is that you will not get burned. The contractor has to meet the specifications in the contract before he receives your payment.
