Building a home is a major project that requires ample planning and preparation. As the homeowner, you deserve to have all the information you need to make knowledgeable decisions about the project and to put the necessary plans in place. To ensure you get the necessary information, below are four essential questions to ask your home builder.

4 Questions to Ask Your Home Builder Before Construction Begins

1. How Do You Handle Obstacles & Delays?

A home builder can have the most organized job site and the best-laid plans, but unexpected obstacles and delays may pop up. An efficient builder has a system for dealing with these challenges, so feel free to ask them about their protocol. Possible options include focusing on another area of construction until the problem gets ironed out and having ready access to supplies if materials or tools run out or become damaged.

2. Do You Have References I Can Check?

When hiring a home builder, reputation matters. Request a list of references you can contact to verify the quality of the craftsmanship and services the builder provides. Ask all references if they were satisfied with the work and if they would hire the builder again.

3. Do You Offer Warranties?

Your home is going to be brand new, so it should come with warranties. Understand beforehand what is and isn’t covered. Roofing, windows, doors, and flooring all often come with warranty protection.

4. How Long Will Building Take?

You'll want a general idea of how long the construction process will take, but try not to get hung up on an exact date and time. Occasional delays are to be expected, so a set-in-stone deadline isn't entirely realistic. Still, the builder should offer a ballpark estimate of when the project should be complete.
