What to Ask the Potential Home Builder

A potential home builder should be asked for his references. Once the person about to hire a home builder has the references of one or more potential home builders, then individual should telephone those references. The best questions to ask the references are presented in the following paragraphs.

Objective Questions to Ask References who once Hired a Home Builder

Did the builder manage to complete the work in the promised amount of time? Did the builder supervise the contractors who were working at the new home site? Did the site remain clean and safe while the builder was operating on that home site?

Subjective Questions to Ask References who once hired a Home Builder

What was the quality of the workmanship completed by the builder? What sort of attitude did the builder demonstrate while dealing with various problems?

Important Information Regarding any Home Builder

Someone who is about to hire a home builder should learn how long that builder has been in business. It is usually unwise to hire a builder who has not been in business for 5 or more years. One must also determine how much of any 5 year period was spent in the location where the potential builder will be asked to construct a new home. It is unwise to hire a builder from a different country, if that builder has not yet become familiar with the local building codes.

What Is the Education of the Home Builder?

A resident of Duluth does not need to know whether or not a builder has a BA or an associate's degree. A resident of Duluth should try to find out if a potential home builder has attended industry seminars and trade shows. Such events will help to reinforce or improve upon whatever education the builder already possesses.
