Building a new house is likely one of the more stressful, yet passionate projects you will complete in your lifetime. You might have envisioned the home of your dreams and are hoping someone can turn your ideas into reality. But, you also want to feel secure in your choice of a new home builder. What can you do to get the peace of mind you need? Experts recommend spending considerable time researching construction companies and focusing on several indicators of dedication and credibility.
Experience
You will have confidence in new home builders Sydney that are well-established in your community. To find out about a construction company’s experience level, you can research their website or ask them what year they started the business or how many years they’ve been officially building new homes. Keep in mind that it takes an average of three to five years to get financially established in the new home construction industry. To get a more detailed look into a company’s experience, you can ask the builder to show you examples of past projects that were similar to your building plan.
Insurance
New house builders Sydney must have worker’s compensation and liability insurance. During your vetting process, ask them to show you proof of this coverage. You can also ask about a home builder’s warranty, which protects the homeowner if the builder doesn’t complete the project for any reason.
Reputation
One of the best ways to check on the reputations of new home builders Sydney is to talk to their previous clients. Ask the builder to provide names of customers willing to share their feedback. Or, you might be directed to online testimonials on the builder’s website.
Sydney-based Kurmond Homes has collected accolades and awards for their innovative home designs and construction quality. You will also find numerous client testimonials on their website.
Contract
A new home building contract must be crystal clear on the details. To prevent future disputes and frustration, you need to know exactly what is included and what features are not included. Once you receive the contract, price quote and building plan, check to make sure they match.
Customer Service
Check the contract of new house builders Sydney to make sure there is a clause for dispute resolution. If a problem does arise during your building project, make sure you record what happened and how the company remedied the complaint. Also, try to determine the length of customer support (ongoing versus short-term) you will receive during the entire home build process.
Ready To Choose
If you are ready to start your new home endeavour, start researching Sydney’s new home construction businesses and check the NSW Fair Trading website to find company licensing and warranty information. In addition to the recommendations outlined above, be sure to visit company websites to view photos and videos or peruse their 3D virtual tours if available. Hopefully, you can also find years of previous client testimonials providing further proof of the company’s customer loyalty and satisfaction. When you finally find the right builder to complete your new home project, you will have the dedication and reliability you need.
