Choosing the right construction partner is one of the biggest decisions in any building project — and one of the easiest to get wrong. Here’s what to check before signing a contract:

1. Ask for completed projects, not renderings. Anyone can show you a 3D model. Ask to visit a finished site or see recent handover photos.

2. Get a written timeline and payment schedule. Vague verbal promises about “a few months” are a red flag. A serious contractor gives you milestones tied to payments.

3. Confirm who manages the project day-to-day. Will you be dealing with the owner, a site manager, or whoever picks up the phone? Clarity here prevents miscommunication later.

4. Ask about warranty. Reputable builders stand behind their work after handover. If a company won’t commit to a warranty period, that tells you something.

5. Check if design and construction are handled together or separately. A design-build company (like Mirza & Sons) manages both under one roof, which usually means fewer delays and lower costs than coordinating an architect and contractor separately.
