BUILDERS - putting it together.

Selecting a builder

The builder can be your guide through the entire custom home building process or just the person who coordinates the construction. How you decide to work with your builder depends on what you need and your agreement.

Types of builders
Buyers sometimes say they want the "very best" homebuilder in the business to build their new home. The problem with that statement is that there is no one best builder or even one best type of builder for all buyers or even all homes.

Which Builder is right for you?
Some custom home builders don't always have a good reputation with the general public. However, despite these perceptions, many builders are quite reputable.

It's just preliminary
Choosing a builder without knowing how much your new home will cost to build may seem counterproductive. However, it can be very helpful to have a builder's assistance during the site selection and design stages of building your home.

Choosing a builder
Check with your local builders association to obtain a list of builders who construct homes in your area. Look in the local newspapers, telephone directory, and the Internet for builders and projects.
