Building a New Home or Custom Home (Part 3 of 6)

Building a New Home or Custom Home in Sequim or Port Angeles, the third article in a series on Selecting a Builder by Rick Anderson.

Match the Builder to Your House

Look for a builder who constructs the type and size of house you want built. Builders often have areas of expertise. If you want to build a house from stock plans for $100,000, don't talk to a custom builder who designs high-end $400,000 homes.

Experience

Although it is difficult for a good builder to meet all the requirements that are demanded of him in the industry, it is even more difficult for a charlatan. There is nothing wrong with hiring new builders, but this may be your once-in-a-lifetime chance to build your own home. Choose someone with proven experience. Ask the builder if he lives in the community. Is his company local? What quality control systems does the builder have in place? What assurance does the client have that the builder is paying the suppliers and sub-contractors who provide products and services for the new home?
