Helloo! When choosing building materials with my contractor, I prioritize discussing my budget upfront. This sets the foundation for our material selections, ensuring that we choose options that align with my financial constraints while still meeting the project's quality and durability needs.

Hi, forum peeps! The best advice that I can share with you is, to have the proper knowledge with regard to anything construction-related. Price range, reviews of materials, in and out of how constructors conduct their business. Those things will be very crucial when you start to choose materials for your project. And lastly, have a good relationship with your constructor so they can give you advice what to good quality materials are.
