When we speak of a building craftsman, we are referring to a professional who intervenes on sites to carry out various works: bricklayer, roofer, carpenter, thermal installer, plumber, electrician, plasterer... all trades combined. In the case of a renovation, for example, one of these craftsmen will be called upon depending on the needs, or a renovation company in the case of major work. Depending on the level of education, wishes and time spent in training, but also on the professional experience, many training schemes are available. For example, one can start with a CAP (2 years of preparation in a vocational school or in a CFA - apprentice training centre) or a Bac pro (3 years in a vocational school on a full-time basis) after the third year of secondary school, and then continue one's studies by aiming for a BP (vocational diploma), a BT (technician's diploma) or, better still, a BTS or DUT, which will enable one to become a higher technician.

The renovation company to contact will depend on the type of work to be carried out: - Mason: raising, demolition or creation of walls, partitioning, insulation...
- House painter: laying wall, floor and ceiling coverings, applying decorative plaster...
- Sanitary fitter: installation of bathtubs, replacement of washbasins, installation of walk-in showers...
- Roofer: sheet metal and tile replacement, roof waterproofing, roofing...
- Carpenter: window and door installation, support beam replacement, frame installation...

One turns to a renovation company to renovate an existing building, whether it is a flat, a house, offices or even commercial premises. This makes it possible to hire a single service provider, namely the company, instead of turning to several craftsmen at the same time, especially if the work requires the intervention of several trades. There will be only one contact person and it will be the person in charge of the work who will coordinate all the workers involved. Choosing a renovation company makes it easier to follow up on the work, through fluid communication. Instead of having one estimate per craftsman, the company can provide an estimate for all the work. A renovation company normally has the necessary resources, both material and manpower, for all types of work and for all sizes of site.

To find a building craftsman or a renovation company, depending on the scope of the work, one can turn to an online directory such as StarOfService. You can choose from various competent professionals in your region or city by simply following the indications on the screen.

The cost of the renovation work charged by a building craftsman or renovation company will vary depending on the size of the space to be renovated, the geographical area, the scope of the project and the architectural plans if it is a complete renovation for a building of more than 150 m², among others.
For a simple project, prices start at around 200 €/m², while for a more complex project, a minimum of 800 € per square metre is required. The kitchen is the most widely renovated room in the home. For a complete renovation of a 10 m² area, the cost is around €20,000 - this includes demolition of the existing kitchen, preparation of the room, plumbing, electrical and heating work, as well as wall and floor coverings, not forgetting the installation of new furniture, including of course the cost of labour and materials. After the kitchen, it is the bathroom that is the most frequently renovated, with prices ranging from €3,000 to €15,000 depending on the size and the work to be undertaken.

For any craftsman, word of mouth remains a very good way to find a trusted professional. You can ask people around you to find a trustworthy builder, or when you have several renovation companies or different craftsmen in front of you, you can sort them out by : - Finding out about their identity card (location, size, registration, insurance, financial health, etc.) - Asking for customer references on similar renovation projects - Assessing the quality of their quotations and their responsiveness.

- Do you have all the legal insurance?
- What are your renovation qualifications?
- Can you provide me with your references?
- Can I have a detailed estimate of the work to be done?
- Is it possible to receive aid for my renovation work?
- What technical labels and certifications do you have?
