How do you complain to your home builder to get those problems fixed?

How to select a builder

Finding the right builder is a daunting task that requires due diligence. Learning about the builder's credentials and qualifications and meeting past clients is very important but at the top of the list is your impression and gut feeling about the builder.

There are three types of builders:

  1. Production Builders
    These companies build the same floorplans over and over. They can build efficiently and have systems in place to create consistency. Normally, these builders offer many upgrades, which cost a premium. Their business model is based on a streamlined process, therefore the client experience may not be as personal.
  2. Semi-Custom Builders
    These builders also have floorplans that clients may select from but modifications and personalizations are allowed. Clients have more say in finishes as well as amenities. The builder is more hands-on, even if they have superintendents on job sites during construction.
  3. Custom Home Builders
    A true custom home builder builds each home uniquely for each client. Price and size do not determine if they are a custom builder. Most builders consider themselves custom builders, but the reality is that very few are truly custom. Custom home construction is where you purchase a lot, design the home, and hire a builder. This is the most expensive way to build a home.

Each category also has its own value proposition and orientation. This difference breaks down between getting more house for your money or paying more to have better quality features and higher-end finishes and amenities. When you are selecting a builder you will need to align these two elements together. Not getting them aligned can cause great frustration. If you are looking for a high-end custom home builder to provide high-end finishes but they shop at a box store, you will not be happy. On the other hand, if you are looking for a less expensive home, that may be exactly what you want.
