Selecting a homebuilder
“We felt like your crew cared as much about the project as we did. As corny as it may sound, anyone could build us a house, you built us a home.”
-Kelly S.
Your home is where you spend a significant portion of your time, and it is also a significant financial investment. That’s why you must make sure you work with a custom home builder who is experienced, willing to collaborate with you, and focused on quality. Arrowood strongly recommends doing your research before selecting your homebuilder; talk to others who have been through the process, ask your realtor or other trusted advisor for references, and take a look at prospective builders’ websites to see if their work is in line with the vision you have for your home.
Once you narrow the field, an in-person meeting will allow you to discuss your project in detail and ask the following questions:
How long have you been in business and how many custom homes have you built in this area?
Who will be in charge of my build and how often can I expect to hear from him or her?
Will I be able to make changes during the build? If so, what does that process entail?
Do you have experience building the type of home I have in mind?
May I take a tour of one of your finished projects?
Can you provide me with a list of references to contact?
