Hi, I hope some can help. I am hopefully about to instruct a builder to build a shell for what will be a 2 story side extension and a single story front extension.
The build will be for foundations, drainage, block work walls, roofing and fitting windows to the whole property (supplied by me). There is no internal work, electrics, plumbing plastering etc. this is just for a watertight shell.
I would like to ask the builder to formally put together a schedule of works and agree some stage payments at various stages. Obviously I don't want these payments to be front loaded so wondered if anyone has any experience of this. Ideally if someone could give me some rough percentages which should be applied to each section of the build I would be really grateful. I'm sure the builder will come up with what he is after I just want to make sure he is roughly charging the right amount.
Thanks in advance.
