Questions To Ask Arizona Custom Home Builders

By Ina Hunt


Selection of any construction expert must be done after a thorough screening process has already taken place. Screening allows for you to decide on which contractors will be able to tackle the work that is ahead with ease. You must therefore meet with a number of Arizona custom home builders in order to interview them about their work as well as their capabilities.

Companies that have been constructing houses for a long period of time will usually have built very many houses. The more houses they get to work on, the better they become. Selecting a firm that is experienced is therefore very important.

Companies should be licensed in order for clients to work with. Inquire on whether it has been licensed and also on where the licensing on was done. Having an insurance cover is also an important factor. Make sure that this firm also has a workers compensation scheme for the personnel that will be working on your site.

Questions can also be made to understand how a firm compares itself to the other companies in the market. Seek to know how it views the competition. It is also important to establish the benefits that would come with choosing that company over the others.

Clients are highly encouraged to make certain they have been provided with names of people who can vouch for this firm. They must be people who have had houses constructed by the company. An alternative to a list of names would be to visit a model house that has already been completed.

Another important factor to understand will be whether clients can bring their own plans. There are companies that are against the idea of clients bringing their own plans. For a client who is highly interested in having a house that is custom in nature, he will want to know whether it is possible to bring his own plans.

During the interview sessions, ensure you understand on who is going to be in charge of the construction. This is the person you get in touch with when you have a question. He or she should therefore be easily reachable.

If you foresee any changes being made to the original plans, request for information on when the changes should be communicated. It is quite common for changes to be made during construction. You must however make sure they are made in a timely manner.

Sit down with the person in charge and look at the procedure that he intends to follow. This procedure is vital to you as it will affect the time that will be taken to complete the house. Understand the time line that will be followed and what will happen when and where.

It is important for clients to ensure that the issue of pricing is dealt with as soon as possible. This involves agreeing on how materials will be priced. The fees charged by the contractor for his services must also be agreed on earlier on by both parties.
