10 Questions to Ask Your Builder/Contractor
Here are a list of 10 very important questions to ask your builder and/or contractor - courtesy of HBAA - part of the National Home Builders Association. If you are uncomfortable with any of their answers, dig a little deeper, or find a different builder.
1. What types of projects do you do?
2. Can I see some of your projects?
3. Can I talk to some of your favorite clients?
4. Are you licensed and insured?
5. How long have you been in business?
6. How do you handle call backs?
7. How much do you charge?
8. What is your payment schedule?
9. With whom will I be working on the jobsite?
10. Do you belong to any type of professional organization?
It is important that you, your builder and contractor can all work together. If your builder is not willing to take the time to answer your questions, ask yourself why? You will be working with them for several months before your project is finished, so make sure you have the right person for the job.
