When you are planning to build a custom home, it is essential to find the right people to make your vision a reality. A quality home builder is top of that list. But how do you know when you’ve found the right one? Here are four questions to ask each potential builder to determine if can handle your project:
- What is your knowledge/background/training in the construction industry?
Home builders come with many different backgrounds and skill sets. Each has different sets of strengths and weaknesses. As a homeowner, it is up to you to decide whether your potential custom home builder has the training and experience that matches with your expectations and specifications for a new home. - How many years have you been working as a custom home builder?
Experience is the greatest teacher. A home builder with many years of experience is likely to have an able, reliable team and connections for purchasing materials at a good cost. An experienced builder can properly plan and build the dream home you’ve always wanted during a reasonable and agreed-upon timeframe. - Do you have references?
This is a critical question. An excellent home builder should be able to provide a list of strong references regarding previous work. Once you have a list of contacts, reach out to them and get a sense of how the builder works. - How do you make sure you have a team of skilled subcontractors?
Many homeowners fail to ask this question. Your home builder must have subcontractors and designers who understand how to construct custom homes. Do a little research on the subcontractors as well, and get proof they are insured.
