Finding the Best Tradesman
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sonia_Harris]Sonia Harris
Who does not want to get the best results for something he is paying for? That's definitely a bad question to ask since everyone wants the best for himself. The question should be; who is the best? There are several people in the market who claim to trade at the lowest rates and in the best way; do their words alone ensure their abilities?
Therefore, its better that you get some guarantee of better-quality before appointing a tradesman than to curse your decision later on. To choose the best tradesman, you will have to give things a sequence and then get started. Let's begin from the very basic level: nature of job. Evaluate your trade with regard to the time constraints, materials, budget, security and hours of working. These descriptions will help you to get an idea of what is actually needed and what to demand for.
The next step is to check the list of available tradesmen in your area. This means that there are major chances that a number of tradesmen have already taken up someone else's work in your listed days. So there is no use of keeping them in the list of recommended tradesmen since their availability is uncertain. Now the tradesmen in this short list should be ranked with regard to their perfection and wages. You can ask these tradesmen to give you at least four references each. Call them up and inquire about their work. Ask for recommendations. Or for your satisfaction, you can also visit a few places and inspect work. You must not hesitate to ask questions. Ask the references about everything related to the tradesman in detail. Inquire about his punctuality, style of work, whether he meets deadlines and get a clear idea of whether to keep him in your recommended list or not. Furthermore, you can access the internet for details too. There are several different sites on which people will have dropped their comments and feedback about their tradesmen. Learn from these global recommendations on the internet.
Once the recommended list is ready, get started again. Choose four or five highly recommended tradesmen who fit into your defined budget and requirements. Then schedule a meeting with each one of them. One more tip; if a tradesman is recommended and is available this does not mean he is the one who is going to work for you. Even if you like him, try to set up a decisive meeting with him first and see if he seems interested or not. If the tradesman is not ready to talk and is not taking interest in the task, do not insist and force him to work. At this moment it does not matter whether he is recommended by others or not. If such a tradesman is hired, you will not achieve what you are paying for. Therefore, stick to those who seem interested. Discuss the job with them, decide the timings and salary and sign a written contract; especially if the job is expensive.
There you go; the best tradesman is ready for your task.
