One of the primary requirements to handle a building project is allocating it to a good builder. Hiring a reliable builder who has an efficient team and can ensure that the project would be completed in time is vital. An ideal building constructer would be available as per the client's requirement and would not charge over the usual rates.

A reputed construction company would always provide a written quote to give a clear picture of the various things that are involved in the project. A reputed builder will always be in demand. So contacting the builder beforehand is necessary. The builder must be registered and certified and have the approval of the trade association. It is always better for both the parties to have a written agreement on the terms of payment before the project starts. Even after the project is complete, regular property maintenance is necessary to keep the property in good shape.

Property maintenance is a difficult job. Regular maintenance of one's property can help in catching a small problem before it turns out to be a large one. Certain things that can guarantee appropriate maintenance and up keeping of your property are:

1. Monthly or bi-monthly exterminations would ensure that the property is free from insects. This can be best performed by professionals. This could be expensive if done on a regular basis but it would ensure a pest free property.

2. Checking water damages and leaks early during times of heavy rainfall would help, as the ongoing leaks would damage walls, ceilings and the tenant's possessions. If there is any crack or hole in the tiles, it should be immediately replaced to prevent water damage.

3. All smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be checked regularly to ensure that these devices are in working condition.

4. Also the filter in the heating and air conditioning unit should be paid proper attention to.

5. The water heaters need to be flushed once or twice a year to remove sediments that build up in the unit from the municipal water supply.

6. Regular property maintenance could be a little difficult and time consuming but it is that by sacrificing a little time and money now would ensure that a lot could be saved later on.
