Choosing A Van Builder
Choosing the right van conversion company can be a daunting task. With so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start. In this article, we'll go over some key questions to ask so you can make an informed decision and end up with a van that you’re happy with.
What is your experience with van conversions?
The first question to ask any van conversion company is about their experience. How long have they been in business? How many conversions have they completed? Do they specialize in anything particular, such as off-grid or luxury builds; or do they only work on a specific van type like a Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit?
A company with a proven track record is more likely to deliver high-quality work and handle any unexpected issues that may arise during the build process. Some issues don’t come to light until you get out there and use the van - so it’s important to find a van company that will be there for you even after delivery.
What is your design process?
The design process is a critical part of any van conversion project. Make sure to ask about their design process and the steps they take to make sure your van fits your vision.
Do they offer custom designs or just pre-designed packages? Will they work with you to create a design that meets your specific needs and preferences? Do they only work on certain vans, like Mercedes Sprinters or Ford Transits?
A good van company should be able to work with you to create a design that reflects your personal style and provides all the features and amenities that you need.
What materials do you use?
The materials used in your van conversion will have a significant impact on its durability, safety, and overall quality. Make sure to ask about the materials they use in their van builds.
Do they use high-quality, durable materials that are designed for use in a van? Do they have experience working with these materials? Will they provide you with information about the materials used in your build?
What is your pricing and timeline?
Cost and timeline are important considerations for any van conversion project. Be sure to clarify their pricing structure and their estimated timeline for completing the van build.
A good builder should be able to provide you with a detailed estimate of the cost of your project, as well as a realistic timeline for the completion of your van.
Can you provide references?
It's always a good idea to ask for references from any van conversion company you are considering. Speaking with past clients will give you a sense of the company's workmanship, professionalism, and overall customer service.
