The wording in a contract with a construction or reno- vation firm is as important as the design and planning off the project 1 itself, say con- sumer advisors with the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). Haste in setting up a contract can lead to dis- appointment with the quality of materials, incomplete work and unexpected ex- pense. The first step towards avoiding problems is to de- cide exactly what work is to be done and how much you can afford to pay. A building permit may be required before work can be- gin. Check with your municipal office. "Then get friends to re- commend a company,” says Roberta Allan, chief con- sumer advisor for MCCR. "Don't just choose a firm at random or base your choice on an appealing advertise- ment. Also, be wary of door- to-door sellers canvassing the neighborhood. Check company reputations through former customers, Better Business Bureaus and local chambers of com- merce." Companies that enter into contracts with consumers while away from the firm's permanent place of business must be registered and bonded under the Consumer Protection Act., Before signing a contract, ask the seller for his regis- tration number and verify it by phoning the nearest Consumer Services Bureau of the ministry. Always ask at least three reputable firms to quote on the job. Once a company has been selected, set up the contract, perhaps with a lawyer's help if it's a costly job. The contract should cover the type and amount of work required, specifying mater- ials to be used. Dates for start-up and completion of the project should also be listed. Check warranties and guarantees carefully. Re- member, they're useless if the company involved' goes out of business. ,Keep deposits to about 10 per cent and be wary of firms -asking, for large amounts of money as down - payments to buy materials. Reputable firms, usually have enough credit to buy the necessary supplies. "We get many complaints from people who have paid deposits of'more than $1,000 to contractors who never show up to do the work," says Allan. "The consumer may only have a name and phone number to go by. No one can locate these com- panies and the customers never get their money back, _ Thousands of dollars are lost every year." Contracts for large jobs may involve "progress pay- ment" — installments to be made as specific stages of the work are completed. Under the Construction Lien Act, you are required to hold back 10 per cent of each progress payment until 45 days after the job is finished. This ensures you cannot be held liable if the company doesn't pay suppliers for materials. - Keep an eye on the project during construction, so . any problems can be corrected as they appear. But don't in- terfere so much that the con- tractor can no longer work efficiently. If you feel you have been unfairly treated by a firm, contact the nearest Con- sumer Services Bureau of MCCR. You can cancel contracts for more than $50 that were signed away from , the seller's permanent place of business, by sending a re- gistered letter to the com- pany within two clear work- , ing days of the date the con- tract was signed. The ministry has publish- ed a booklet on handling home renovations that pro- vides general information on contracts and specifics about insulation, siding and paving projects.
