HOW TO CHOOSE A BUILDER? CHECKLIST
USING THIS CHECKLIST WILL MAKE CHOOSING A HOME BUILDER EASIER!
GET AN EXACT ESTIMATE
Make sure you get an actual estimate that includes everything you will be charged for like soil tests, surveying fees, penalties for changes, etc. Getting an exact estimate is great when you are building on a budget.
READ REVIEWS
Google the home builder you are thinking about choosing and read their reviews. Also make sure they are a registered & licensed contractor with the State of Arizona. For example, Hughes Development is registered and licensed with AZROC (Arizona Registrar of Contractors).
GET REFERENCES
Ask the builder for references (at least 3 or more) so you can get feedback on their custom home project. Ask them how long it took, how much it cost and if the builder stayed within the budget or not.
VISIT PREVIOUS HOMES
Ask the builder if you can visit previous homes they’ve built or if you can see their work online. This will give you an idea of the types of homes they can build so you can decide if their style is what you are looking for.
CHECK MEMBERSHIPS & QUALIFICATIONS
Ask the home builder if they are recognized or awarded by any home building associations. For example, Hughes Development has earned 2 MAME awards from The Home Builders Association of Central Arizona.
ASK ABOUT SUB-CONTRACTORS
See how long they have worked with their previous sub-contractors. If they have long-term relationships with their tradespeople (flooring contractors, roofers, etc), that’s a pretty good sign of a quality homebuilder.
GET A CLEAR CONTRACT
Make sure the contract you sign is unambiguous and clear to make sure you don’t miss any fine print.
FIND OUT ABOUT PENALTIES
Find out in advance if there are any penalties for making changes throughout the project, especially if you have to make major changes after the project is mostly complete.
ASK ABOUT GUARANTEES & WARRANTIES
Ask them if they offer comprehensive maintenance and warranties once the keys to the house are handed over. Hughes Development offers custom home warranties on all new custom home builds. This ensures that any defects in workmanship within the first year will be repaired or replaced for free.
ASK ABOUT FOLLOW UP PROCEDURES
Make sure you get a welcome packet with warrant documents, appliances and products at the house, home maintenance guides and follow up procedures if defects in the home are found, etc.
ASK ABOUT PAYMENTS
Find out how their invoicing structure works, if there is a deposit (if so how much) and how payments can be made.
MAKE SURE THEY CAN COMMIT
Make sure they can commit to a specific timetable. Most experienced home builders know their process so well they can at least give you a general estimate of how long everything should take.
