I agree with barry but as trust is two way get as much info on your builder as possible before you part with your money

Every tradesmen will operate differently. Personally I prefer to get a deposit up front from a customer. This is just because a level of trust should be established as quickly as possible. Don't use a tradesman you don't think you could trust.
