The construction of a new home should be a fun and exciting experience. Knowing the basics to home buying will help to eliminate some stress during this process. Good planning for new construction just may be the difference between a good night's sleep and insomnia. The first step is the selection of a general contractor.
Most contractors have property available to view for references.
If this is not an option, ask the contractor for some names and phone numbers of previous clients. Most people are more than happy to talk about the workmanship in their new home. Much like a new car, people are proud of their new purchase and will give insight on the contractor. Once the general contractor has been selected, the next step is to negotiate the contract. Make sure all questions are answered before signing the agreement.
