When
buying a home for the first time, you can choose to build it from the
ground up, buy a newly built one, or go for an already established
home. Among all these choices, however, it’s easy to understand why
you’d prefer to build your first home from scratch. This option
will allow you to incorporate your own design aesthetics, so you’ll
have a home which you can truly call your own.
Still,
you need experienced
builders
to help you draw your plans and realize them. The home building
process is rarely a smooth road. Here are tips to help you build a
constructive relationship with your builder:
Make
sure all the contracts are in place.
Think
of a home buyer-builder relationship as a business transaction.
Contracts should succinctly state the project outlines, expected
budget, target completion date, and contingencies. These documents
should be signed off by both parties page by page to avoid
misunderstandings in the future.
Be
decisive.
You
have a say on how your home looks, but your builder will have a hard
time if you keep changing your preferences. Be decisive from the
start. Know what style you hope to go for and which colour scheme you
prefer.
Allow
flexibility in schedule.
With
every project home builders take on, the intention is always to
complete it on time as agreed upon. Still, certain weather conditions
can hamper construction, so don’t take these out on them.
