Before you choose a builder or homesite
- Check the land first. Confirm utilities, access, surveys, deed restrictions, drainage or floodplain issues, and whether the plan fits the site.
- Compare the complete budget. Include site work, utility connections, allowances, financing costs, landscaping, and a contingency for changes.
- Define what is included. Ask for written specifications covering foundation, insulation, windows, HVAC, finishes, appliances, and warranty terms.
- Understand the process. Compare design milestones, selections deadlines, change-order rules, draws, inspections, walkthroughs, and the estimated build timeline.
- Arrange representation early. Builder sales representatives work for the builder. Discuss buyer representation before registering, touring, or signing.
