Building a New Home or Custom Home (Part 1 of 6)

Are you building a new home or a custom home in Sequim or Port Angeles? If you've decided to build your next home, this article answers the question, "What is the next step."

Author Rick Anderson is the founder of Anderson Homes, LLC, and with over 25 years of experience he shares his insights in this six part series to guide you in this exciting process.

Part One of Selecting a Builder

Once you've made the decision to build rather than to buy a home, the next thing you need to do is find a builder who can make it all happen. There are many qualities to seek out when selecting a "good builder," and although the characteristics of a builder are sometimes difficult to evaluate, they are important.

Management Skills

First and foremost, you will want someone who can successfully manage a team of craftsmen skilled at constructing a quality home.

Compatibility

Because buying or building a home is such a considerable investment, you want a builder who makes you feel comfortable. Building your home from the ground up is an emotional experience. You should feel at ease asking questions, and confident that there will be open communication throughout the entire process. A builder should be honest and fair, with the ability to listen, and the willingness to be a partner with you in solving problems along the way.
