How do I make sure I hire a reliable home builder?

• <div><p>Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:</p><ul><li><p>How long do you expect the process to take?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>How much of the work will you subcontract?</p></li><li><p>Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?</p></li><li><p>How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?</p></li><li><p>How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?</p></li><li><p>How much experience do you have?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should I hire a construction manager for new construction?

• <div><p>A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/construction-management-fees.htm">construction managers are pricey</a>, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.</p></div>

Q: What is the hardest stage in building a house?

• <div><p>The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. </p></div>

Q: What is the usual timeframe for completing a modular home project?

• <div><p>Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a house without blueprints?

• <div><p>Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.</p></div>
