Communication is key to ensuring you're getting exactly what you want. Establishing clear and frequent communication with your builder will help ensure that they understand your goals and can deliver on them. It starts with the plans and ensuring everything is properly outlined. It's also important to keep up with the progress of your home throughout the construction process to make sure it meets your expectations and that any issues are addressed quickly. Additionally, taking advantage of pre-closing walkthroughs will help you identify and address any potential problems before they become big issues.
