Finding a Bulider (Part 2)

So, as I was talking about finding the right person for building your house. We already had a close relative for that. We knew he was kind in nature, and not like an authoritative, diplomatic builder that you expect of a profession like that.

We never have to bargain with him about the contract prize, and it all went smoothly. He use to come for payments at fixed time interval of 15 days (as per every 'amavasya' - no moon day), and as he was a relative, (and a good one !), we had a good understanding between us. If he requires funds at odd occasions, he would inform us is advance so that we can make our arrangements accordingly. Same with requirements of materials. He took care of everything, right from cements to the interior decoration material for our house, (after consulting with us of course !).

What I am trying to say is that, if you select the right person , you will most certainly have things done rightly. Practically, the only problem that one can face at times, is the arrangement of funds. So I think its very important not to show off, and know your finanancial limits, and plan things accordingly. I would again like to put emphasis on the fact that the base of an act should be strong. For house building the base starts from knowing your financial limits, knowing your requirements, buying a plot and selecting a builder. f you can do all these things right, chances of messing up in between reduces to almost zero. So, do pay a lot of attention to the basics !
