What Should you Look for in a Home Builder?
Finding a home builder you can trust is one of the most important decisions you will make during the construction process. They are the ones that will guide you through the building process and execute your vision.
The good news is that there are a number of ways to ensure your selection process will result in a quality builder that is a good match for you and your new home.
Experience Counts
When matching the best home builder for you, make sure you select one with a strong resume of experience. Ask them for a detailed list of past projects and site visit options to see some of their completed work.
Develop a Strong Connection
More often than not, you’ll be working in close quarters with your builder. It’s important to establish a good connection as you will be spending a lot of time together, not to mention putting a lot of trust in them!
The success of your building project can depend on the quality of your working relationship, so look for a builder that you like, trust and respect.
Get References
On top of former projects, you should also ask for a list of references. Previous clients and homeowners can provide the best and least biased perspective.
Ensure you research the appropriate questions to ask: How was their working relationship? What issues did they encounter (if any)? How were these resolved or handled? Ask them about the level of communication provided to them, as well as their overall level of satisfaction in their new home. What would they request differently if undergoing the project again? Was the project clean and organized?
Asking the right questions may be the difference between feeling satisfied or undergoing the construction project of your nightmares. Checking references can make all the difference; don’t feel awkward asking.
At Nick Beaudry Homes we are confident that our past work speaks for us and are more than happy to provide references and previous projects for review. We understand that building your own home is a huge undertaking and how important it is to feel comfortable with your builder.
