How to select the right partner for your commercial project, focusing on compliance, insurance, and track record.

Selecting Commercial Contractors

Commercial projects require a different set of skills and certifications compared to residential work. Here's what to look for.

Essential Qualifications

  • Public Liability Insurance: Minimum £5 million cover
  • Professional Indemnity: For design work
  • Health & Safety Accreditation: CHAS, SafeContractor, or Constructionline
  • Quality Certifications: ISO 9001

Track Record

Ask for case studies, references, and site visits to similar completed projects. Check online reviews and industry reputation.

Contract Terms

Use JCT contracts for transparency. Clarify payment terms, retention, warranties, and dispute resolution procedures.
