How to Choose a Custom Home Builder

If you’re considering building a custom home, one of the first—and arguably the most important—decision you’ll need to make is which custom home builder to work with. Choosing the right partner will set the tone for the whole process and could be the difference between a straightforward and transparent build or a complicated and stressful project.

When evaluating a custom home builder, consider their experience, offered service and design style.

Experience
Successfully building a custom home requires a number of different skills and you want to ensure that your custom home builder has the experience and knowledge required to guide you through every step. Make sure to ask any potential custom home builder how many projects they’ve worked on and if they’re familiar with the area you’re considering building in.

Full-Service
Not all custom home builders are full-service, which means you might have to find a realtor, architect or maybe an interior designer to finish your home. A full-service custom home builder can alleviate some of the building stress by guiding you through the whole process—from picking the perfect lot to picking the final finishes.

Design Style
Every custom home builder has a design style and it’s important to view examples of a company’s past projects to ensure you like their aesthetic. However, make sure that the builder is flexible and will accommodate your design choices—not just provide a cookie cutter home.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions when looking for a custom home builder— you want to ensure you’re working with the best company in the area.
