Building a brand new home can be one of the most exciting experiences or it could turn into a nightmare. Much depends on readiness, preparation, and budget, and of course on hiring a good contractor. The process of building your custom home starts way ahead, before you even chose the lot in which to build it. It starts with analyzing your finances and obtaining proper financing if needed, as well as interviewing several contractors. In addition, you will want to learn as much about the process and educate yourself about some of the issues involved in the building of new construction. After that, a location for the home or a lot must be found. Lots may be raw land or land ready for building with all the necessary reports. An architect will be an important instrument in the design of the perfect home for the type of land that you choose. Once the lot has been selected, the process of building your custom home begins. There are a few issues to keep in mind.
This process will be as enjoyable as the type of contractor that you hire. This is why it is important to interview many, and ask for references and a portfolio of previously constructed homes. The person you choose should be an experienced reputable contractor that will listen to your requirements and can work with your budget - it is called a custom home for a reason. A first interview will say much about the person. It will give you an idea of the professionalism, as well as the knowledge, but also of how well-prepared this person came to the interview (portfolio, pictures, references, examples, materials) and how much he/she is willing to listen when you talk. A contractor that does not come prepared to an interview for a possible new job and that does not let you finish a sentence is a bad sign - a red flag - and you should hire someone else.
If in doubt, call all the references in the list and talk to the homeowner to see how happy he/she is with the work, how long the building company took, and if they have any problems with the construction at present - leaks, falling shingles, mold, siding coming apart, and other issues. Don't believe everything that you see on คอนโดมือสอง ราคาถูก a website, especially testimonies. Call the people and find out for yourself. Remember, it will be your money and your budget in his/her hands.
Ask the prospective builder /contractor about the companies he works for or if he/she will provide the workers from his company. This is important, as many contractors may hire cheap help just to get a bigger cut. In addition, you want to know if he/she pays the subcontractors on time. A subcontractor that is not paid can put a mechanics lien in your home, and you become responsible for it.
Building your custom home will present many challenges and many exciting moments; however, you can reduce the negatives by doing your due diligence when hiring a contractor/building company. In the end, you will love your brand new home, designed by you.
