How to Find a Builder

If you are in the market to build a home, but don't know where to start-read on. Deciding to build a home is a big decision. Choosing the right builder is vital to your experience as they are the focal point for the entire process through completion, assuring quality throughout. There are many ways to find a builder. Quality builders take great pride in their work. They do things right the first time to avoid the expense of repairs later. Most of all, they value satisfied customers.

There are several ways to seek out a new builder.

One is to call us. We are a construction finance lender that for 10+ years has offered financing to the builders in our area. We service and fund the construction project from the time the lot is purchased through the time you close on your completed home. We have many bulders we can pair you up with so you will have several options for builders to choose between.

There are several typical methods to locate a builder. A great way is referrals from friends and family that have experienced working with a good builder. You can visit model homes and new housing developments to see the work of various builders.

Once you have narrowed down a few builders, calling the local Better Business Bureau, (BBB) and check the record of complaints filed against the builder is always a good idea. Determine the rating received by the BBB and refrain from selecting a builder with multiple complaints.

Check the reputation of the builder. Even with a home warranty, complaints are resolved directly with the builder, so the builder's willingness to make repairs is far more important than the warranty.

Look for builders that have been in business for many years and under their same name.

Contact the local and National Association of Home Builders. Membership is a good indication of quality of work, and offers some assurance of the builder's standing in the profession.
