Choosing the Right Home Builder for Your Denver Area Custom Home

When you’re ready to build your custom home in the Denver area one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the choice of a builder. Follow these guidelines as you begin your search.

Experience

Try not to become overwhelmed by the many details inherent in the design and selection process of new-home construction. An experienced builder will have processes and personnel in place to walk you through each step of the project, and to guide you in the numerous details requiring your input and sign-off. Such a builder also understands the emotional component of custom home construction, realizing that for you–the buyer–this may be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Custom home construction requires a specialized expertise. Choosing a builder knowledgeable of and experienced in your locale and market ensures that the construction process will flow smoothly from start to completion.

Proven Track Record

In the end, satisfied homeowners provide the best measure of a builder’s success. Ask for homeowner references from your builder, and check them! Ask homeowners about their building experience–did it progress smoothly? Was the project well-managed? How would they rate the builder’s communication processes? When construction complications occurred how were they handled? Did the finished home exceed expectations?

Location

Is the builder able to build where you want to live? Is he open to building on a lot you already own, or does he require that you purchase a lot through him? How familiar is the builder with the area you have chosen?

Options

Is the builder a true custom home builder? Are only a few options available for customization, or is adequate flexibility in place to allow for personalization of the home’s design and features?

Helpful

Does the builder do a good job of explaining the building process and outlining client expectations? A reputable builder will make sure all your questions are answered, that you are fully informed, and that you understand available options, anticipated costs, and realistic timelines.

Commitment to the Community

Is the builder invested in the community? Your builder should stand by the work he does and be accessible long after the home is completed.
