After weeks of research, you’ve finally narrowed down your list of potential home builders. The next step is to meet with the builders you’ve chosen. The builder you choose will become your partner for the next year or so and it is important to pick someone you trust. It all starts with the first meeting. It’s a good idea to do some research before you get to the meeting, so you know what you’re looking for, and you can tell your builder your vision. To make it a little easier on you, here’s a list of 3 things you should bring with you to that initial meeting with your builder:
Pros and Cons of Your Current Home
Since you’re not a builder, it can be difficult to put into words exactly what you’re looking for. Before meeting with us, put some thought into what you like and don’t like about your current home. It gives us some room to come up with a few different solutions to fit your needs. From there, you can pick the option you like the most, and that best fits into your budget.
Determine Your Budget
The first thing any builder is going to want to know is how much you’ll be spending. It’s important to have your budget all figured out before you even go into that meeting. At P&D Builders, we help you make all future decisions based on the budget you’re working with, so it’s important that you know exactly how much you can spend by the time you meet with us.
Floor Plans and Exterior Ideas
If you have ideas about potential floorplans, or if you found your ideal floorplan online, definitely bring it to that first meeting. This will help us have a better idea of what you’re looking for, and we’ll be able to tell you if the floorplan you want fits into the budget you have. In addition, if you have pictures representing the type of exterior architecture you’d like to incorporate into your new home, it’s a good idea to bring those in too. We have some available floor plans from previous builds on our website so you can check out all that we can do. The more information you have, the easier it will be for us to give you an estimate on your dream home.
