At P&D Builders, we want to make your dream home a reality. When shopping around for different custom home builders, keep these tips in mind to ensure a smooth and easy home building experience.
Be Specific About What You Want
Builders can’t read your mind. We’re here to provide examples and professional advice, but you are the ultimate decision maker. Provide us with specific examples, inspiration, or detailed plans that we can envision together to achieve your dream home with all the details you like.
Ask Questions if You’re Unsure
We provide a variety of different services to complete your home. We also have worked with many other contractors and can point you in the right direction of a trusted partner if our team cannot directly provide you with the service needed.
Take A Step Back
This is a hard one, especially for those that want to have a say in every single detail of the home building process. But, in the end, you hired a builder to handle the project for you. Take a leap and let the professionals handle the rest. If you see something go terribly wrong, step in, but otherwise, trust that your builder knows what they are doing.
Make Sure You Understand The Contract
A contract should answer all the difficult questions like: how long is the warranty? Is there a warranty? How will change orders be handled? How will I be billed? Is a deposit required? Reading and comprehending your contract is very important. Read through it and if you still have questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
Ask Your Builder How You Should Communicate with Them
Some builders prefer calls, while some will never pick up the phone but will instantly respond to texts. Others might respond to emails 24/7. Everyone is different, but knowing how your builder prefers to communicate might save you a headache or two along the way.
Communication is Key
To sum everything up, communication between you and your builder will make the project successful. No matter what the question, comment, or concern, it is valid and should be talked about with your builder. We cannot stress enough how vastly important it is to have an open line of communication with your builder.
