Biggs Construction’s custom home builders in Greenville, NC is dedicated to giving you the best experience when building your custom home. Building a home can be fun and exciting, but it can also be a very stressful experience, especially if you hire the wrong contractor. Communication is extremely important to you and your contractor while building your dream home. We want you to have a positive experience with your custom home builders. Here are 10 questions to ask your contractor before you sign the contract.

1. How Long Has Your Custom Home Building Business Operated?

Your custom home builder should be extremely experienced in his or her trade. A company that is better established will have more knowledge and access to a reliable crew, suppliers, and subcontractors. Your home’s construction is important, make sure that it’s built with care.

2. Can You Provide a Cost Break Down?

Make sure that your contractor has a legitimate and well thought out idea of the materials they will need for your home. Have them “itemize a bid” that will have a cost break down on what’s needed as well as a plan about the different phases of each project.

3. Do You Have the Proper Licenses and Permits?

Some builders will try to sell their services without having the proper certifications. Credible contractors should be able to provide all the documentation that you will need.
Ask the contractor to obtain all the important permits that you will need to safely and legally build your home. Sometimes contractors will skip this process because it could “slow” the project down, but make sure that your custom home builder plays by the book.

4. How Will We Communicate?

It is important to communicate to your contractor on how they should reach out to you as well as how often you would like updates. You should both come to an agreement on which method of communication is the best for the both of you before you begin this process. Communication is key when it comes to building your dream custom home.

5. How Should I Expect The End-Of-Project Paperwork?

After your home is built, you should expect a type of documentation at the end. Before you start the project, it’s best to know what the contractor expects from you at the end of the process. You should also be provided with contact information just in case you have any concerns.
