If you are building your house from scratch, you should hire a company that has specialises in new buildings and extensions, not conversions. You will work very closely with your contractor for a few months, it is therefore essential to select a qualified person or company with whom you can work honestly and comfortably.
Also make sure that they offer you a detailed and clear work scope with a detailed price list. A time frame is also recommended to manage expectations. All change orders must be signed in writing before the scope of work is changed. All work must be carried out according to plan unless you request a revision.
Remember that hiring an unlicensed contractor is illegal. Therefore, check whether your contractor has an active licence and employee compensation (if he has employees).
