When it comes to having a custom home built from scratch, you need a quality new home builder to rely on who can get the work done for you from beginning to end. Here are a few good questions to ask when choosing a home builder to work with:
Do You Have a Portfolio?
One important question to ask any home builder you consider doing business with is whether they have a portfolio you can take a look at. If you are offered a portfolio to peruse, pay attention to the following things:
- How much design variety is in the homes that are featured?
- How old are the homes being featured?
- Do any of the homes look anything like what you would want to have built?
- What are the price ranges of the homes being featured?
- Is any customer feedback included in the portfolio?
The answers to all of these questions should give you a good idea of what to expect if you decide to work with a particular new home builder to have your dream home designed and built once and for all.
What Credentials Do Your Employees Have?
It is also crucial to find out what kinds of credentials the employees of a prospective home builder has before making any commitments to work with them. Do they work with people from a temporary labor company or do they employ licensed contractors, technicians, and laborers? How much experience do their employees have?
Can they provide you with license numbers for anyone who will be working at your property? How are the employees vetted before being hired? You should know about every person that sets foot on your property to help build your new home for peace of mind in knowing that your property and building materials will be safe and that your place will be built with expertise and integrity.
Do You Offer Timeline Guarantees?
Another question to consider asking is whether any timeline guarantees are offered. However, if your home builder can guarantee that they will meet the design and construction timelines they provide you with (even with a leeway of a few days or even a week or two), you can rely on the timelines and plan the move into your new home accordingly and with confidence.
