How To Tell Whether Your Prestige Home Builder Is Reliable

When you are looking at hiring a prestige home builder for work on your project, one of the most important factors that you will need to determine is whether your potential builder will be reliable or not. There is nothing worse than hiring a contractor only to find that they are impossible to get a hold of or don’t deliver on their promises.

Use these tips when screening potential prestige home builders to ensure that you are going to choose one who is reliable for the duration of the project:

• If the builder tells you that they are a member of a trade body or institution, as them for proof of membership and see how long it takes them to get back to you with these documents. 
• If the builder says that they have recommendations from architects, past clients and other members of the community, ask them for the contact details of these people and see how long it takes the contractor to get back to you with these phone numbers. 
• Write down a work schedule and have all the builders you are screening price it – if one contractor quotes you overly cheap or expensive, you can see whether they are reliable in terms of costs. 
• Write an agreement that both you and your builder sign, establishing each section of the construction process (including duration, when to pay, and so on), then see whether the builder adheres to this agreement. 

Finally, you shouldn’t disregard your gut feelings about the reliability of a potential prestige home builder often, you will have good or bad feelings about a person and these can often turn out to be quite good indications. Remember that hiring a builder who is going to be reliable is paramount to the success of your project.
