Working with Your
Home Builder
|
The process of building a new home is
exciting, demanding, and can be a real challenge. Signing the contract
is only the beginning, and it should never be the end of your involvement
in the process. Staying informed and involved in the building of your
new home is essential.
While you're leaving the construction itself up to the builders, the
decisions should be in your hands. Read your contract and all the paperwork
carefully, and if changes come up along the way, make sure to document
everything. If you decide you want an extra window in the living room,
that change needs to be reflected on a signed contract. Trust us, this
will save you lots of headaches later! It's also important to keep up
with what is happening on the house as often as possible. Please note
this doesn't mean breathing down anyone's neck! Builders are busy people,
and not everyone on the crew is going to be as up to speed on the plans
as you are. Take care to note the progress, and speak up if things seem
to be going awry. If you didn't remember a closet in the upstairs hallway,
bring it to someone's attention. You may feel as though you're being
a pain, but it's a legal issue. You may be paying for what they build.
Make sure it's what you wanted.
It's also important to remember that, while getting what you want out
of your newly-built house is the main priority, the builders have priorities,
too. And you have every right to receive a house built to safe, sturdy
specifications, with a properly set foundation, even flooring, and everything
else up to code. If you've hired reputable builders you should be in
luck- it's their job to get this stuff right. It's also their job to
fix it if any of the basic requirements fall short of what they should
be.
Even while you're watching the progress, noting changes, and verifying
the big stuff, try giving everyone a little slack when it comes to the
small details. What a horror for builders to deal with a home owner
who is screeching about the wrong doorknobs when they are trying to
finish a house by deadline. Keep in mind that human errors happen. If
they're big ones, then you have every right to have them corrected.
If they are not what you paid for, then you have every right to speak
up and have things set to rights. But if the inconsistencies are small
enough to live with, won't affect your happiness with the house overall,
and will be easy to change out later, then give the builders a break.
Ask for a discount if you didn't get the shower door you ordered, but
the one that's there works just fine. During the building process of
your house, it's best to keep one eye on your contract- and the other
eye on the big picture.
