subject: Finding The Right Custom Home Builders [print this page] If you are thinking of having a home custom built, I am very envious of you. This can be the most exciting and fun time of your life. The problem here is that you have got to be careful that you choose the right one for the job. This means the difference of a dream come true or living through a nightmare. Be very thoughtful in selecting custom home builders of Dallas.
There are a few tips that you will want to think about before you just jump into getting a home built by someone from the ground up.
The first part of your research to finding the right builder for you is to look at the work of several builders to find the one that has a style and flair that fits your taste and needs. You need to find someone that thinks on the same lines as you do or you will be fighting design problems the whole way.
Once you find the style of home you are looking for, you have got an idea of who you want to do the work for you. Next, you will want to take some time and do a little planning and sketching yourself to design the home the way you want. List the specific things that you want and cannot live without. This could be type of wood, sinks, toilets, windows, floors, and anything else that will express what you want in your home.
Meeting with the builder for the first time, you will be giving him the ideas that you have. Now he will design some rough plans and sketches for you to look at the next time that you meet.
Before your next meeting, you will be very well served to get in touch with the licensing office in your local county. This will allow you to find out if the contractor is properly licensed and certified. This will tell you that the guy is a professional or not.
By contacting your local Better Business Bureau, you can find if the builder has any or has had many complaints. This will give you an idea of his character.
When this all looks great, you have found your man.
You can now meet with the builder and have him continue to the official blue print stage of the process, knowing your new home will be beautiful.
