Do builders provide drawings and Building Control?▾

Should I pay a builder in stages?▾
Yes — never pay a Saffron Walden builder the full amount upfront. Standard practice is a 10–20% deposit, then staged payments tied to clear milestones (foundations complete, roof on, first fix, second fix, snagging). Hold back 5% for at least 4 weeks after completion.
