<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlso, be sure to check that the contractor is legally covered and has all the necessary insurance before working with them. And, of course, you should get an estimate. This will give you an idea of how much it may cost for the contractor to build a custom home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A customer can help their contractor by providing them with a collection of photos or samples from various sources such as magazines or newspapers. The customer can use the internet to find out a particular design for his house. Based on the design, the contractor can assess what is needed and what is not. Easy communication with the builder is very important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It makes the task much easier. Also, a quick decision can be made if there is good communication between the builder and the client. Therefore, having a phone number or home address of the builder is very important nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping in touch is very important for any builder. With proper communication between a home builder and his client, the deadline can be met quite easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, a builder plays an important role in home construction. However, the owner needs to make sure that the contractor he hires is very experienced and efficient in home construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selecting A Custom Home Builder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe search for a Maryland Custom Home Builder can be very exciting, very rewarding and VERY nerve wracking if proper “due diligence” is not exercised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beware of BAITERS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is a BAITERS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nA “baiter” is a builder who offers a ridiculously low price per square foot. The low price per square foot gets your attention. The tactic\/trick then entices you to contact the custom builder. Only when you begin to “peel the onion” do you realize that the ridiculously low price per square foot does not include everything (construction labor, all permits, etc.) and that inferior materials were used in the bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to look for when choosing a Sydney custom home builder?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n1) Make sure that the price quoted by ANY Custom Home Builder includes EVERYTHING. This includes, but is not limited to, ALL of the permits, ALL of the necessary site work (driveway, excavation, septic, etc\u2026) and ALL of the necessary connections (water & sewer, well & septic, gas & electric). No surprises later when it’s too late. If you are not a handyman, you want the construction of your home to be completely “turnkey”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when comparing materials used by a Sydney New Home Builder. The use of 2×4 construction versus 2×6 construction, Formica countertops versus granite countertops, single-hung windows versus double-hung windows, brick versus vinyl siding, Grades of Cabinets, Grades of Carpet, Grades of Appliances, the list can go on and on \u2026 It’s best to run a computer spreadsheet comparing the specifications of one eligible custom home builder to another custom home builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Make sure you visit a few custom homes<\/a> under construction to verify the build quality and actual materials used. When you see a subcontractor\/vendor on site, don’t take an inordinate amount of time (they are working), but ask them, “Do you like working for this particular custom builder?” If there are issues with payment or the job site is poorly managed, you may be surprised at how candidly they will answer. Pay attention to the condition of the job site. Is it sloppy or messy? This may indicate an “I don’t care” attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
