what questions should I ask a builder?

Choosing a builder isn’t just about price. You’re choosing the person managing one of the biggest investments of your life, while juggling stack of trades, multiple timelines, tracking budgets, and a thousand moving parts behind the scenes.

Before signing anything, it’s worth asking questions like:

• What’s included in the quote?

• How are variations handled?

• What’s the expected timeline?

• Who will I communicate with during the build?

• How often will I receive updates?

• What warranties and insurances are included?

• Can I see recent projects or client feedback?

• How do you handle unexpected issues or delays?

A good builder won’t dodge these questions. In fact, they should welcome them and provide all relevant information that you seek. Clear communication early on usually leads to a smoother, less stressful build from start to finish.
