Due to the weather conditions in Australia wall cladding is popular. It has been proven that walls last much longer if they are cladded with an extra layer of protection. Structures cladded with Alucobond Australia, for instance, last for decades.
Many people think wall cladding is only used for covering the exterior of a building. However, cladding installers Sydney often do indoor cladding as well because architects love to use cladding material such as Alucobond for décor purposes inside buildings. Exterior Alucobond cladding is also often used to beautify buildings.
Usually, cladding is done as part of the building process, but installers can also add it later. The problem, however, is how to hire a skilled and experienced cladding installer. We gladly share three tips that will make it easier to hire the right professional installer company.
Tip 1: Verify certifications and training level of technicians
Nobody should waste time and effort by discussing possible quotes with a cladding installation company who doesn’t have technicians with the necessary training and certifications to install cladding. Therefore, the first thing to do when looking for the right installer is to verify whether its technicians have certifications and qualifications enabling them to follow all cladding installation safety protocols.
Furthermore, ensure that the technicians are qualified and have enough experience working with the chosen cladding material. Companies that offer their services for Alucobond installation, for instance, should have technicians specifically trained to work with the material. Well-established companies, such as Glamour Decor Australia, guarantee their installations because they have highly-trained Alucobond installers as part of their workforce.
Tip 2: Get information regarding the company’s track-record
The installation of cladding with Alucobond or any other material is a very specialised process and therefore it is possible that the installer’s technicians have all the necessary theoretical training but the company has not a track-record of successful applicable cladding projects.
Ask the installer for references and follow up with previous clients. The feedback from clients will give an idea of the service level of the company and whether it will be able to complete the project successfully.
Tip 3: Get stipulated quotes
Make a list of the installers complying with the criteria mentioned in tip 1 and 2 and obtain quotes for the project from a few of them. Request them to provide stipulated quotes that, apart from the price, clearly indicate the material requirements and scope of work, linked to a timeline of the work to be done.
To make it easier to compare quotes, include in the quote requests a list of all the items that needed to be priced individually.
Conclusion
To ensure that you hire the right cladding installer for your project verify
- the training level and experience of the installer’s technicians,
- the installer’s track-record, and
- the cost analyses.
