The best measure you can take to ensure your outdoor shower enclosure is constructed properly is to engage a qualified builder who has had previous experience at building fixed outdoor shower enclosures. If you have several candidates in mind the difficulty of course is deciding how to select the best person for the job

To enable you to narrow down the field of potential builders you have in mind the following are several matters that you will need to consider.

The first step is to decide how much you can afford for the work that needs to be carried out. Work out a budget that will cover costs for the plans, all the construction materials and how much it will cost for the builders services. Ask for a detailed quote on how much the completed job will cost.

Request a copy of the terms of any building contract and make sure you read the small print particularly if there is a clause concerning additional costs that might be introduced after construction has begun. Ascertain if the builder you are considering has any conditions that could affect a change of plans for the enclosure you intend to build.

Ask the builder you are intending to employ to provide references from previous clients as this will enable you to carry out background checks if necessary.

For example, you may want to talk to previous customers to confirm whether they were happy with the work carried out on their outdoor shower enclosure. If possible ask whether you can have a look at the finished work that has been completed to get some idea on the standard of work.

Also check with work colleagues and other people whether they know anything at all about the reputation of the builder you intend hiring. This can be an excellent method of finding out whether he is a good builder to undertake the construction work.

Lastly, it is important to try and engage a builder that has a reputation for not only being good at his job, but also for being honest and straightforward about how much the job will cost and how long it will take to complete.
