Looking to build a custom home in Northern California? You should search for your builder as carefully as you would shop for a premade home. Whether you’re looking to build a townhouse, dream home, or wine country estate, you want to ensure that you’re buying a high-quality sustainable home from a reputable builder. Here are some of our tips to help you wisely select a Northern California luxury home builder.
Do Your Research
- Make a list of potential builders – Once you’ve determined the type of custom home you want to construct, it’s time to create a list of potential builders. Contact your local home builders’ association, request recommendations from friends and acquaintances, and contact local real estate agents to begin building a list of builders who construct homes in your area. If soliciting recommendations, ask questions regarding their experience with their builder. Some questions to ask include: Are you happy with your home? Were there any problems during the process and if you had any problems, were they fixed quickly and properly? Would you buy another home from this builder?
- Ask questions – When you have your list of potential builders it’s time to start asking questions to determine if they’re the right fit for your project. Get information on the builder’s involvement through the different phases of the project (pre-construction, construction, building occupancy) and find out if they offer construction management services to ensure the project’s smooth success.
- View examples of recently completed projects – A talented custom home building team will be anxious to show you examples of completed projects! Request photos of previous jobs and testimonials from clients. If you can, do a drive by and see if the completed homes are in line with your design aesthetic and quality standards. Focus on finding a builder with a proven track record of completing developments of similar scale and detail to your project.
