You’ve waited years for your dream home. Now that you’re ready to start with the construction, what’s next? Well, hiring custom home contractors in Charlotte, NC should be part of your list. Here’s a list of questions you’ll want to ask a builder during the interview to help you out.
Can you work with my architect?
You likely have an architect to help you plan out the details of your home. Is the builder amenable to working with your architect?
Can you meet our budget?
You can do this in two ways: Ask the builder how much the project will cost or set a budget and let the builder offer options or a proposal that works with your budget.
How much experience do you have?
You’ll know this beforehand if you did your homework. But asking this in interview gives the builder a chance to expand on that answer and that could help you decide whether you’re making a good hiring decision or not.
What are your terms for pre-construction services?
Many builders will have terms and conditions that you’ll want to go over. If some of those terms are unfair or they aren’t all right with you, look elsewhere.
What kind of projects do you do?
Again, your research will cover this. But it’s important to find out if the firm has any experience—not just in custom home building—but in building the kind of project or home that you have in mind.
Are you available if an emergency comes up?
It’s a good idea to hire a builder that you can turn to when something goes wrong. If problems pop up, you want to pick a firm that will help you deal with those issues.
