Construction team for the construction. How to find bona fide builders

Below I will describe my experience, how I chose builders for the construction of a house for permanent residence.

After reading this instruction, you will receive a complete guide to action and my personal experience about how not to make a mistake when choosing builders and then not regret the lost money, time and nerves.

I must say right away that the builders do not like such instructions and a couple of times they wrote me not flattering comments at all.

At the end of the article, I wrote down and posted detailed video which will give even more answers.

Here are examples of the most popular Russian construction forums

Many write there that the builders lit up, did it badly, missed the deadline, did not complete it, etc.

Or maybe people were just not there and were looking for something wrong?

Where to look

Below I write a list in ascending order of the probability of a successful outcome, that is, at the end there are more useful options, but read everything better so as not to step on someone else's rake.

From friends through word of mouth

The best option is word of mouth. If there are acquaintances who have built good house, then let them give you the contacts of the builders, but here's a problem - you are unlikely to find such acquaintances. Even if a good house has been built for someone, the builders will still turn out to be scoundrels, whose hands are growing from the wrong place. I do not consider elite renovation with budgets of 10 million or more. So we discard this option.

Through the Internet on sites

You browse 5-10 sites, call 3-5 times, they will tell you that you need a project, then they will be able to calculate the cost. And in 99% percent they will offer to make a project and then calculate the cost. Without a project, no one will talk to you, and if they do, they will put 200% in the cost for safety net. As a result, after spending 2-3 hours in vain, you will start looking for other options.

In large companies

It all depends on who you get on. If the manager is intelligent (it is extremely rare, since they work at a salary and a minimum%, there is no motivation), then he will be able to pick something up for you. But again, without a project, the cost will not really be calculated.

sketch your wishes on a piece of paper and select a project on the Internet, this will greatly speed up the choice of builders and the determination of the construction price

V large companies, after agreeing on the project, each edit will not cost you very cheaply. There, in order to change something, multistage approvals are needed and it is easier to leave it as it is. In addition, they will prescribe in the contract that a deviation from the project will increase the cost, up to 200%.

Through Message Boards

There are several large sites, below are links to them.

There are many ads and among them you can find a good team for building a house, but keep in mind that you will have to call at least 30-50 ads, and then somehow filter out unscrupulous workers, and there are 99% of these on ad sites. They do not value their reputation, they are constantly changing their phones, jumping off objects half way and then again being placed under new data.

Through Avito I found one foreman, and a Moskvich. He is a foreman, he has 2 teams and he works with them himself. But his price tag turned out to be higher (the difference was 100 thousand rubles) than those of whose builders I found elsewhere.

Forums

This is the only place where performers value their reputation.

And there is only one large normal forum - Forum House. Here is the link https://www.forumhouse.ru

Below I will write detailed instructions as I was looking for. Maybe you can find something else, but in my opinion this is ideal.

When to start looking

Autumn-winter, by March so that you have already chosen a team and made a plan of arrival at the site.

Otherwise, if you start looking in January-February, then God forbid they will put you in line for the fall, since in the summer everything is scheduled, and a good specialist never sits without work. Considering that the construction of a house on average takes 2-3 months, then during the season (when the weather permits) you can make a maximum of 2-3 houses.

Building out of season (from late autumn to early spring) is bad, long and dreary.
But much cheaper

My builders (who built me) are working all year round but it takes longer to build in cold weather, productivity and quality drops dramatically, so keep that in mind.

How I was looking for a good team to build a house

Search for builders on the Forum House website https://www.forumhouse.ru

I must say right away that this is not a quick matter, but at the end you save hundreds of thousands of rubles, and most importantly, your nerves and time, since it is very dreary to rebuild or look for another brigade half way.

Go and register on the exchange as a customer https://www.forumhouse.ru/exchange

There they entered a confirmation by SMS to the phone.

  • Create 3 accounts (not one and not 2, namely 3)
  • Place your order

And you create 3 such orders (one from each account - that is, supposedly 3 new users make 3 different orders), only you need 3 different numbers for confirmation (an SMS code will come).

Make orders different and do not create in one day, it is better with a break of 2-3 weeks, that's why:

  1. so that they do not suspect that you are the same person.
  2. good specialists do not constantly sit on the forum, but mainly newcomers or intermediaries. To catch the specialists, we post orders on time.

When creating accounts, use different computers or different browsers (programs through which you look at sites - opera, chrome, mozilla)

Next, collect applications. Many applications will overlap. You can safely bargain with performers on overlapping requests and see how much a person willingly yields in price. Having received at least 20 applications, you will already have an understanding of the average price.

I chose from over 100 proposals and negotiated with about 20 foremen and teams. At the exit I have already chosen from three

This is a full-time job that takes several weeks, but it pays for itself completely.

What questions to ask.

To understand a builder or not, you will have to delve into the construction technology yourself. You can't do without it.

I will describe the questions with an example frame house... For other types of houses, you can make a list yourself.

Questions to builders about frame houses

1. The sequence of the cake wall outside (facade, wind protection, insulation, vapor barrier, interior decoration) many are confused where which film is put

2. Do you need a ventilation gap at a frame house (definitely yes, if the answer is "no", I recommend immediately weeding out such builders)

3. Which side to put the vapor barrier - the villi inward or outward (outward, since they collect drops and do not allow them to penetrate into the depth of the wall)

4. We want large windows from the floor, will not a lot of heat go through them? (if they say that we will put a good double-glazed unit and will not, then immediately refusal, since any spraying will fade in 2-3 years and it will bake through large windows in your summer, and in winter you will get tired of heating your house)

5. Does the thickness of the insulation in the walls and ceiling differ? (in the ceiling it should be at least 20-30% more. Some make wall insulation 150, and in the ceiling they put 100 mm of rolled insulation badly rolled out and then wonder where the heat goes)

6. The most important question !!!
Is the bearing capacity higher for a bar of 150 * 150mm or for knocked together thin bars of 50 * 150? (if they answer that one is fat, then immediately refusal, because a single bar in 99% will turn out over time, it will dry out and weaken)

After choosing the right price and level.

Viewing current objects (visiting houses under construction)

Ask for current or completed objects - see how the situation at the construction site.

What to look for

  • Cleanliness on the site.
    If a working pig, then they will build a house for you as well.
  • Compliance with technology
    There are many subtleties, and you better understand the technology. For example, they almost always insulate poorly, the insulation is not plugged evenly and then the house cools out in winter. Someone, for example, blows out the mineral wool under pressure, but this cannot be checked in the walls, and it is not a fact that it will be 100% evenly and densely distributed.
  • Talk to your neighbors.
    The neighbors will tell you best of all how the brigade behaves. Neighbors almost always respond well to such questions, and asking them will almost always add self-esteem to them.
  • Take the phone of the owner of the house to whom they are building and chat with him. If the builders are against, take this number from your neighbors, and builders minus karma for distrust and secrecy.
  • Find out the last name and first name of the builders and punch them through Yandex for such requests
    Full name - reviews
    link example https://yandex.ru/search/?lr=213&msid=1503892936.11225.22900.15156&text=%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE % D0% B2% 20% D0% 9C% D0% B8% D1% 85% D0% B0% D0% B8% D0% BB% 20% D0% BA% D1% 80% D0% BE% D0% B2% D0 % BB% D1% 8F% 20% D0% BE% D1% 82% D0% B7% D1% 8B% D0% B2% D1% 8B

Instruct everything to one company or divide it according to different contractors.

I divided in different ways. It's cheaper, better quality, but much more dreary. Considering that they were building my house alone, and heating and electrics were thrown by others, there were no difficulties, since I brought them together at the initial stage and they worked together, despite the fact that I drew up the project myself and knew 100% what would be where.

But usually they build a house and only then realize that it was necessary to lay the wiring in the floor or start water with a sewage system. But these are already the problems of those who did not draw up a project or built not according to the drawings but the campaign of the case (and there are 95% of them).

And the most important thing is that each team blames the previous one, that they did not do that, and the previous ones have already gone to another facility and will be able to remake it only in 2-3 months.

As a result, the question is controversial - how is it better. For example, there are few heating specialists and they work only for themselves, and if your foreman connects them and takes on warranty obligations for himself, then he will definitely throw 20% (50-100 thousand) to the estimate, and if you negotiate with them on straight, then in the event of an accident, they can jump off, saying that the house is built clumsily.

ADVICE

Enter into a warm, trusting relationship with all the builders, do not bargain if the guys have already started working and do not spare money (if they say to buy an Italy crane for 500 rubles, and not a Chinese one for 150, then this is better), in the future it will allow you to get a good one, and most importantly, quick warranty repair.

Contract

Everything that you write in the contract will give you absolutely nothing. Since you will be sent to hell with him, one in 1000 will reach the court, and most importantly, the court order still needs to be executed, and the bailiffs certainly have nothing more to do than knock your 200,000 out of the hard worker, who does not even have his own home.

Therefore, I am writing instructions on what to look for when agreeing with the brigade, the foreman in a kind dialogue and subtly hint that if there is a delay, then the payment will be cut proportionally. But it is better to write everything down on paper in the form (it will not be superfluous)

1. Timing

The timing of the start of construction, the timing of the completion of each stage (I paid in stages, but then as you agree), the timing of the completion of the object.

The final amount. But there is such a moment, for example, it is difficult to calculate the roof, for example, 100%, as well as the area of ​​the facade or the amount of insulation (I counted in archikada my error was 2-3%, but still, for the money, it is 20-30 thousand). Therefore, it is better to discuss the cost of materials and, if it is not enough, then to buy in addition, than to prescribe a fixed amount and the builders will buy with a margin and leave the rest for themselves.

3.warranty

The guarantee applies more to engineering systems, since if the house was built correctly (and we chose the right builders), then nothing will happen to it.

In any case, write that if something breaks down, then the contractor (performer) undertakes to eliminate the malfunction within 2 days. Since if a pump or a boiler flies, then without water and heat you will give oak quickly.

conclusions

1. Before starting to select builders, decide what you want (sketch a project, pick appearance Houses).

2. Look for builders from friends or forums, that is, where people value their reputation.

3. Call 30-50 builders / companies, communicate, clarify the subtleties of technology, be meticulous.

4. Ask for the objects under construction in order to check whether the construction technology is being followed correctly and whether the construction site is in order.

5. Bargain reasonably and choose from those offers that you like. Do not knock down the price too much, because later you will regret it yourself (they will save money on you, and krailovo, as you know, leads to a popalov).

7. Conclude an agreement in which you clearly state the time frame (if you do not fulfill it, then prescribe the fines), as well as warranty conditions (if something breaks down, so that you can come and fix the breakdown within 1-2 days).

You can spend 2-4 weeks calling, searching for message boards, reading forums where there are tens of thousands of dissatisfied people.

Or you can write to me, I will advise you on how best to proceed, I will give the contacts of the builders who built the house for me, as well as help to avoid all the mistakes that I made.

Brakodels-contractors are remembered with an unkind word in most of the "construction" letters and questions received by the editors. Take at least. And if the owners of the houses who write to us about the problems and shortcomings of the new building are not yet sure of the sources of their troubles, then the specialist can always see that this was not without the sloppiness or ineptitude of the performers.

This situation, which recurs regularly in different parts of the country, requires attention. That is why in this article we will take a closer look at selection algorithm workers for the construction of a country house.

Let's talk "like an adult" - about choosing a qualified team of builders for the construction of a new house with all modern attributes. This task is very, very difficult.

A bit of terminology

  • Human, who decides to build, must have the appropriate resources for this and have necessary documents to the land where the construction is planned. Such a face is called customer or customer-developer.
  • The company that organizes the work as a whole is called general contractor.
  • Enterprises performing certain types of work are called subcontractors.
The company you have chosen should first of all become organizer of the entire construction process... Traditionally, the general contractor undertakes civil works: earthen, construction, erection and, internal. The level of his direct participation in subcontracting is determined only by current resources and material interest in separate stages construction. The general contractor is "fighting" for the amount of work. Moreover, he simultaneously carries out several projects, shuffling specialists and equipment by site, depending on funding and the technological situation at the sites.

So what to opt for - a general construction organization or a highly specialized organization? The answer is clear: it is better to entrust independent work to a company that is a master of their craft.

For instance, zero-cycle-only companies, equipped with expensive earthmoving equipment and their own vehicles. They have materials for reusable panel formwork and concrete mixer trucks for the construction of a monolithic foundation.

Modern mansard roof- these are several layers of high-tech materials, and each is laid taking into account only its inherent features.

Therefore, we can say that the real roofing companies stood out in a special caste, whose members are snapped up in the warm season. In addition, they have established contacts with the manufacturers of the entire complex for years. roofing materials and accessories, so their prices are set with good discounts.

Standing apart in the construction labor market are cutters wooden houses ... It has its own assembly features, its own calculations of the natural shrinkage of the house and its own rules of operation after construction. And only those men who know how to hold an ax in their hands take up this business. By the way, this is the most scarce construction profession, and real cutters are “go-find”. But such a specialized company can take on the functions of a general contractor and be sure to provide a guarantee for all work, as well as perform post-warranty service.

TO indisputable advantages of the general contractor it is necessary to include the fact that he is responsible for the object as a whole accepting work from subcontractors. And one more important aspect: general contractors have sufficient experience in the design of a house ready for commissioning.

The contract is required!

In suburban construction, the concept of "general contracting" can be used when the customer and the contractor sign one contract for the full scope of work. The contract stipulates:
  • thing,
  • terms,
  • price,
  • payment order,
  • responsibility of the parties,
  • penalties for outstanding work and their delay.
Such a scheme can be said in the case when the customer has complete design and technical documentation. Only if there is a project a detailed and transparent estimate is drawn up.

Usually, when designing, the price of an object is determined per 1 sq. m.In the overwhelming majority of cases, the real, finishing cost exceeds the original calculation... This applies not only to summer cottages, but also to grandiose construction projects. This is the essence of construction - price increases in the process. In connection with possible changes according to the wishes of the customer, the scope of work can also vary. That's why it is necessary that the estimate describes in detail the composition, footage and cost of each work.

I want to draw the attention of beginners to such a craft concept as executive documentation... Traditionally, she is simply called "executive". This is especially true of acts hidden works... What is this wisdom? This is a document signed by both parties to the contract, testifying to the quality of the construction element, which is subsequently closed at the next stages of construction. The most common example is checking the quality of concrete in the foundation, which will subsequently be covered with a box at home.

You, as an interested person, should be aware of this and not to allow formal signing of acts "with eyes closed"... And even more so - in hindsight.

What to talk about at the first meeting with a contractor

A thorough check of a prospective contractor will help avoid contact with a fly-by-night firm. Check out the organization's charter and inquire about the duration of its activity. Of course, it's worth getting to know the real country houses, built by potential applicants for your facility. Serious attention should be paid to the first meeting with the contractor's representative. Think over the sequence of the conversation, make a list of the most unclear questions for you.

Should be delivered to a prospective contractor a number of conditions necessary for the conclusion of a contract:

  1. Mandatory preparation of a detailed project for the production of work (term - PPR) and an estimate with an indication of the types of work and monitoring of each stage both by the customer himself and by a third party - an independent construction specialist.
  2. Step-by-step project financing. Provision of an advance payment for the purchase of building materials.
  3. Providing the contractor with permanent qualified personnel.
A few more necessary topics for discussion:
  • Estimation of the volume of construction financing.
  • The list of events - from obtaining a building permit to putting a house into operation.
  • Consulting on modern construction technologies.
  • Expertise of the project. At this point, the contractor always has a lot of complaints about the project and the desire to modernize it. This may be due to some "hovering in the clouds" of the creative architect, and the desire to simplify the algorithm for building a summer house.
  • Ways to select potential subcontractors.
  • Associated issues of construction support. For example, the organization of the place of resettlement of builders in change houses and the accompanying integral aspects of their life for several months.

An experienced contractor representative will answer all your questions to the point and will not shy away from clear answers.

A special conversation is the regulation of inevitably arising claims and the ways of their resolution. After all, your relationship with this construction company may continue after the completion of the work.

After the construction of the dacha, it is better to attend to the problems of its maintenance and modernization by the same company that built it. Annual audits by a specialist are indisputably useful: they allow you to identify and eliminate the problem that occurs at the very beginning.

Of course, all of the above implies that you visit the office of not one construction company, but several, and independently form an idea of ​​the real possibilities of candidates.

How much is it?

As a rule, construction companies seek to reduce costs in order to increase profits. Attractive prices attract customers, and the number of construction contracts is increasing. Real professionals improve the management structure, work organization, employee training, technology, tools, etc., carefully calculate labor costs, and reduce costs.

However, in the market for private construction contracts, there are other companies that do not bother themselves with accurate calculations, but ensure their alleged solidity only by a high level of prices. Along the way, over the "zero" years, dacha construction has become noticeably more complicated, acquired new technologies and materials, its cost has increased significantly. Construction contractors are forced to build up a solid financial reserve to offset costs. Officially, these costs and supplies are hidden under the term "overhead". Of course, they cannot but be. The only question is their size. Here you need to compare the offers of several construction contractors.

Not knowing all these building subtleties, the customer completely trusts the contractor, entrusting him with the ability to manage the funds. Is it necessary to do so? Therefore, I would suggest using a "third party" - hired by an experienced specialist. Best of all - a foreman. Get an experienced civil engineer whom you trust to assist.

He will become your construction "advocate". By paying for its work, you will save on future possible rework. Of course, provided that he does not collude with the contractor.

For most people, the defining trump card when choosing a contractor is cost. But the seductively low prices should warn you rather than please. Traditionally, such promises hide a catch, or even outright swindle.

How to control construction

Not every summer resident can control the quality construction works, the technology of their implementation and compliance with the requirements normative documents... Therefore, as I said, it is worth trusting a third party - an experienced specialist or an organization that (under an independent contract) will carry out technical supervision of the construction. She will also be able to give an objective assessment of the feasibility of costs, inspect the quality, their use for their intended purpose, and much more. Although in the case of attracting a special company, overhead costs are already set on edge. Having delegated the controlling functions to such an organization, you have every right to expect the detailed conformity of the work performed to the project. In fact, it should look like this:
  1. First of all, you need to pay attention quality building materials (so to speak, incoming control). It is reflected in the official certificates of conformity. These photocopied documents must be checked very carefully. It will not be superfluous to take a personal look at the imported blocks. Moreover, inspect the latter for moisture, the absence of blue and other organic imperfections.
  2. The contractor hands over a specific stage of work to a technical supervision representative. This stage is made out acceptance certificate... It is preceded by a professional check for compliance, including concrete quality analyzes, which can give an accurate answer only after a few days. Upon completion of all stages of work, the customer is presented with the relevant acts, signed by a representative of technical supervision, which indicate the volume and cost of work.
How to follow the builders in a modern way, this photo shows. Look at the mast above the shed and what it is crowned with:

The zealous owner of the future house installed a panoramic video camera on a pin, which broadcasted the situation at the construction site in real time. In this way, he could monitor the hard work of the hired builders from his office. Here is a kind of use of IT-technologies in construction.
