The purchase of a new home is often the largest single transaction that people will take part in throughout their lifetime. This is especially the case if you are designing and building a brand new custom home. With that in mind, it is essential that you select the right builder for the job.
When making your choice on your new home’s builder, there are several things that you can do before signing on the dotted line with the company, such as:
- Checking out their previous jobs. One of the best ways to research a home building company that you are considering is to drive past their prior jobs. Taking a look at the completed homes can help you to see what their finished products will look like.
- Checking on projects that have been delayed. You may also be able to determine whether the builder pays their bills on time. In some cases, home builders that are behind on their payments may incur delays in their receipt of materials, as well as in keeping a quality building crew.
- Chatting with their clients. You could also make contact with homeowners who have had their house built by the company. Some key pieces of information can include whether or not the company finished the project on time – and on budget.
- Contacting suppliers and / or subcontractors. By contacting the builder’s suppliers and / or subcontractors, you can get an idea of how their relationship is with these entities – and if it isn’t good, you may want to move on.
