My suggestion is to enter into an arrangement whereby you get to select the material, design and quality.
The contractor/company will charge only T&M.
Don't go for fixed fee contract unless you know /exactly/ what you want done in the basement and where and how you want it done.
If you go for a fixed fee contract, make sure it includes in writing what material will be installed, ideally brand name and quality.
For example,
- Insulation R13 Q brand
- Metal studs 1.2 inches
- Lights 13W Phillips energy efficient, etc.
Also, the amount and frequency of payment.
Such as, duration 5 weeks. $2000 advance payment and $2000 every Friday, etc.
Don't get shafted into paying 40% or 50% fee up-front.
If you can specify and define all the aspects of the work up-front, then a fixed price contract will work in your favour - you will save money and get the work done much faster.
If not, it is better to go with a T&M contract.

Hi,
Thanks for the tips.
Could anyone recommend reliable companies?
I could provide you the reference of the contractor I had used.
It's not a "company", but a contractor who works for himself.
He might bring a couple of guys with him, depending on how big the work is.
If you are interested, I'll pm you his contact.
Let me know.
