construction guruI have to figure it out anyway. And not to be fooled. Remember those simple life hacks.
It is necessary to remember that honest builders will only be happy if the owner of the site will independently control what is happening. He will know how the work is going, what materials may not be enough, and what will remain. In general, a person is familiar with all the nuances of work.
Just give the charlatans a signed contract and money, and then look for the wind in the field. At first, it may seem that everything is normal, because all the materials have been counted, all the documents have been compiled, the money has been paid, but this does not mean anything for scammers. They disappear as quickly as they appeared. Consider the most popular ones.

"Free cheese" only from crooks Woe-builders may want to cash in on a higher price for materials. There are many ways to explain this. Maybe because the supplier is very reliable, or some tools need to be purchased. The customer agrees, because he believes that quality building materials from a good supplier is what is needed for his site. But where's the catch?
In the workforce. You have to save money on something. Here on the object and show characters who in construction especially appreciate rest and lunch. Of course, it could be pros. In order to carry out its work quickly,

It is especially offensive if first the fraudsters actively rub into the trust and create the image of decent people. The work seems to be boiling.

It is important to look for such information before construction begins, not when the problems begin.
This deception may seem the most harmless of all the above. The contractor can deceive the customer during construction. Yes, this is also stipulated in advance, but there is little that can happen. Moreover, many customers do not know for how long to actually build a particular site of a new building.
As a result, the client loses time, although he was promised that the work will be completed much faster. The customer thinks he pays for fast work, but in the end he does not get it. Because something was not brought, not bought, someone forgot (overslept, missed) about work. This is a joke, but believe me, it happens.
