3 Things to Know About Working with a Custom Builder

So, you’ve decided to build a brand new home with the help of a custom builder. However, there are things you should know before you choose who you is going to build your new home. You need to make sure that you prepare properly before you actually start the process. At Cullers Homes, our custom builders know that there are three essential things to prepare. These are: understanding construction financing, knowing to ask questions, and staying involved. A lot of questions. These three things will allow you to work smoothly with whatever custom builder you choose to build your home.

Understanding Home Construction Financing

Unless you have a lot of cash lying around or in the bank, you will more than likely need to finance your new home. Unfortunately, financing for constructing a home is different than financing to buy a new home. You have more options. For example, you can choose to take out a home construction loan that will cover the costs of the construction. These loans can either be separate from your mortgage loan or can convert into a permanent mortgage loan. Keep in mind, however, home construction loans are now harder to qualify for since they are considered a riskier bet. If you have good credit, still expect to put down at least 20%.

Ask Your Custom Builder Questions

When you finally do decide on a custom builder, you want to make sure you ask a lot of questions. What don’t you understand about the process? At Cullers Homes, we know how vital it is to know exactly what you have signed up for. That is why we offer transparency for all our clients, in order for you to feel as secure as you can about your investment. You never want to feel like there are things that are not in your control when you build a custom home.

Always Stay Involved in the Building Process

Finally, you always want to stay involved in the process once the construction starts. This is important because if you change your mind about a window placement, or the size of a room, you can let your custom builder know right away. Otherwise, you may end up with something you did not want or need in your new home. Cullers Homes knows that you may change your mind at any second. It is essential to keep an open line of communication so you can always be sure you are getting what you want at every stage of the process.

Cullers Homes prides itself in having an open communication and design process for our clients. We are a custom builder that knows just how important it is to you to have the home you want. Don’t risk working with a builder that brushes off your concerns and end up with a home you do not like. Build a home to be your castle- contact us today!
