Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of a multi-trade contractor vs managing tradespeople separately?
Coordination. With separate tradespeople, you become the project manager — scheduling plasterers after electricians, chasing delayed deliveries, managing clashes between trades. A multi-trade contractor takes this responsibility, provides a single contract, a single programme and a single point of accountability if problems arise. For complex projects this is invaluable.
How do I protect myself on a large project?
A few practical habits help: agree the full scope of work in writing before anything starts, structure payments around completion milestones rather than a single up-front sum, and confirm the contractor carries appropriate insurance for the project. For larger or higher-value projects many homeowners use a written contract — formats like the JCT Minor Works or HBA Home Improvement Contract are commonly used in NI. NI Trades is an introduction service and isn't party to the contract or payment arrangement; for advice tailored to your specific project, talk to a solicitor, surveyor or building consultant before work begins.
What should a schedule of works include?
A good schedule of works lists every element of work with quantities and specification — the type of materials, finishes and standards required. It should include a programme with key milestones, a clear variation procedure, payment terms and a defects liability period (usually 12 months). This document forms the basis of your contract and protects both parties.
How do I manage a project if I am not on site every day?
Appoint a trusted point of contact and agree regular written progress updates with photos. Carry out progress inspections at key milestones (completion of groundworks, roof structure, first fix, plastering, etc.). For larger or more complex projects some homeowners choose to appoint a project manager, architect or building surveyor to administer the contract on their behalf — discuss scope and fees with the professional directly to decide what makes sense for your project.
Important
Get a detailed written specification before any work starts, listing exactly what is included and excluded. This prevents scope creep, disputed extras and delays. Ask how variations to the original scope will be costed and agreed.
