Farm Builders
Association
provides tips
for farmers
If you're planning a building
on your farm the Canadian Farm
Builders Association has some
tips to consider.
Look at more than price alone,
the CFBA suggests. While price
will play an important role in your
choice of a builder, it should be
considered in terms of the project
as a whole because the lowest
price doesn't necessarily indicate
the best proposal.
Compare and carefully evaluate
project designs and specifications.
The same attention should be
given to bracing techniques, snow
loading, steel packages and all
other aspects of the projects.
Be specific in your require-
ments and follow up to ensure the
contract you sign details every-
thing included in the quoted price.
Before committing yourself to a
project, it's important to deter-
mine if your builder's employees
are covered by workers' com-
pensation. Also ask your builder if
he has liability insurance. Insuran-
ce not only gives you legal prot-
ection but safeguards your
investment.
When possible you should visit
the last two jobs completed by the
builder you're considering. If one
of the jobs is the same type of
building you require, it should
give you a clear indication of what
to expect.
If time restraints and location
prevent you from visiting the sites,
you can always ask around to
determine if the builder has a
respected reputation.
Finally, check to see if he offers
a guarantee of his work.0
