10 Tips for finding a Good Home Builder
Building a new home is typically not an “instant†decision. You don’t just get off the couch one day and tell your significant other, “we should build a house†and the next day start building. Although some of the current real estate reality show’s depict the search and build in one hour’s time, the process is edited and adjusted for the time restriction of T.V.
In the real world, most people take years to decide to build their own home or commercial/business building. You may take many months or many years to find the right plot of ground and it may take years to shape your finances in such a way as to afford the down payment.
This very important decision of home building is not taken lightly, so you should also choose a construction company very carefully. Before you decide on a builder, do a little bit of research and answer these questions:
- How long the builder has been in business?
- What kind of bonding and insurance does the builder have?
- What is the percentage of projects that come in at or under budget?
- What is the cost of a change order?
- What are the qualifications of the foreman, general manager and other key building personnel?
- What exactly is warrantied and for how long?
- What is the source of the materials being utilized?
- How long has the team of workers been working together?
- Are there past customers you can talk to about their satisfaction with the process?
- How do past construction projects appraise? (this one you can ask financial institutions)

We work underneath the protection of an over 40,000 square foot facility in Chanute Kansas and deliver our homes to final resting sites all over the Midwest. This includes all of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Our projects come in at or under budget and are typically pre-approved and appraised by many financial institutions. All change orders are clearly priced and not carried out until the price change is approved by the customer. Our personnel are vetted and are insured and bonded. We try to use as many local and American Made vendors as possible. All work is warrantied fully for one year and we have a very low percentage of “re-do†work.
