I've just seen some Chinese builders build a house and a couple of flats from scratch
I'm keen for them to undertake a loft conversion and extension for me.
The guys English is non-existent but the quality of their work looks spot on
Unusually, the guy says that he only charges for labour and he leaves the client to buy the materials.
However as this is the first time i am undertaking a job like this, I have no idea of all the required materials, the quantities and overall cost. The builder also seems reluctant to list all the materials
My question is, is the onus on him to list all the materials/quantities etc, or should I hire a quantity surveyor?
Given the language barrier, I will have to write the contact. But what must it include?
Any advice is welcome
