5 Important Things to Consider when Choosing a
Home Builder

Setting out to find a new home has its
challenges, especially if theres no new homes on
the market that totally satisfy what youre
looking for in a new home. If this is the case,
then finding a custom home builder to create your
perfect home is a great approach for you.
Here are five things to consider before choosing
a custom home builder

1. Focus on quality first.
A custom home isn't a temporary residence. This
is the place where you and your family will live
for years to come. The place where your children
will laugh, play and run down the halls.
Your first priority when selecting a builder
should be the quality of their work. Ask to tour
past projects, be sure to check references, and
question the builder about the structural
materials you can't see. Ask builder candidates
what materials they use, so you can be sure that
you are getting a quality-built home from the
ground up.

2. Do your research.
Narrowing your search for a builder can be a bit
overwhelming. A good start is searching based on
your future home's location. From there, you can
browse for builder portfolios and past floor
plans. Word-of-mouth is also a great way to learn
about local builders. Consult friends and family
who have already built custom homes, create a
list of potential builders and conduct thorough
interviews.

3. Never be afraid to ask questions.

• Ask the builder questions. No question is too big
  or too small!  We always suggest writing them
  down before your meeting. Consider these quick
  questions as a starting point
• Are you licensed and insured?
• What is your warranty and service policy?
• Does your style match what were looking for?
• How many current projects do you have?
• Do you have enough time to take on a new project?
• What is your typical turnaround time?
• A good builder like Green Villas Construction is
  not only willing to answer even your most
  ridiculous questions, but will encourage you to
  ask them as well.

4. Testimonials go a long way.
Chat with previous clients. You will learn
quickly that being thorough is important in the
home building process. Find out if there are any
homeowners living in your potential home
builders homes and see if they would be willing
to chat with you.

5. Communication. Communication.
Do your communication styles match up? You want a
homebuilder who is dedicated to you, not a
homebuilder who is just cashing a check and
building a box with a roof on top.   Communicatin
g clear expectations up front is absolutely key
in the success of the finished productyour
beautiful future home! That said, choose your
builder wisely.
