Choosing a builder can be an intimidating process. But the simple truth is that your builder needs to meet certain basic criteria before you even think about picking up a pen to sign a contract.
So, if the builder you’re thinking of using can’t tick at least 9 out of 10 of the boxes below, you probably need to reconsider your options.
|
Do you get to meet the person who is actually building your home? |
|
|
Will the builder inspect your block before purchase to ensure it’s suitable for the kind of house you want to build? |
|
|
Are changes to standard plans accepted without resistance and large penalties? |
|
|
Does the builder include surveyor set out? |
|
|
Has provision been made for any soil tests that may be required? |
|
|
Is the quote a fixed cost? Do you understand what it doesn’t cover? |
|
|
Can your builder enable you to view any homes currently being constructed or any completed home where you can check the quality of workmanship? |
|
|
Is the builder trade certified and affiliated to a recognized industry body such as HIA or MBA? |
|
|
Does your builder have a dedicated building supervisor who will personally manage all sub-trades on your site, keep you informed of progress and answer any questions you may have? |
|
|
Can you speak directly to the actual registered builder – or the owner of the business – who is ultimately responsible for your new home construction? |
