How to choose a construction company in Batumi

Main criteria:

• A transparent estimate. It should include prices per square meter, materials, and labor.
• Fixed deadlines. In Batumi, delays are common due to seasonal workload, so a contract is essential.
• A portfolio with photos and addresses. Preferably, 3—5 properties near you.
• Quality control. A foreman and reports via messenger.

Mini-case: How to identify an unreliable contractor

If a contractor immediately provides a “total price for everything” without a detailed estimate, there’s a high risk of cost overruns of 20—40 %. Another warning sign is the absence of a contract and work schedule. In Batumi, this is especially important due to seasonal fluctuations in labor prices.
