Building a new home is a major project and commitment. It involves a lot of planning, decision making, costs, paperwork and a large team of tradesmen and suppliers to complete the project. Naturally, you’d want to do everything in your power to ensure this process will be a success, and working with an established and trusted builder should be your number one priority. Let’s have a look at the advantages of building with an established home builder.
Good experience
Experience comes with time, and with each project that builders complete they acquire new skills and knowledge which can be applied to better their future projects and achieve greater success. Good experience means that your builder will know how to plan a budget and time frame more accurately, will be able to manage tradesmen and processes better and have the ability to confidently overcome any issues that may occur. It is important, however, that you should find a builder who has experience in building projects which are similar to yours.
Industry knowledge
Industry know-how is closely linked to a builder’s building experience. An established builder will have all the necessary qualifications to be able to work in the building industry, but will also know the value of industry knowledge and continually make an effort to stay up to date with new technology, current building methods and processes, and even building design trends. Over time, having broad knowledge will enable the builder to make quick and smart decisions to benefit your specific home design and the building process.
A list of satisfied clients
Most established builders will have a long list of satisfied clients and should be able to give you information on references who you can contact. This is a very important step to help you establish trust in your builder and give you added peace of mind. A good builder will have happy clients, who won’t hesitate to give honest feedback. You should also try to determine what the builders working style and process is, and if the previous clients experienced any hiccups that you can prevent.
Supplier confidence
A reputable builder has usually been working in your suburb and community for a while and will know who the best local contractors, manufacturers and suppliers are for a job. Even if you are looking for something customised or out of the ordinary, established builders will have experience in finding and dealing with suppliers with quality products and services that match the builder’s own.
Trusted site manager
A site manager is responsible for managing the daily operations of the construction project. This includes overseeing all the people involved in the process, carrying out quality control, keeping within the budget and timeframe of the project, managing and overcoming delays or issues and overseeing the site’s health and safety. The site manager plays a pivotal role in the success of a project. An established builder’s team will include site managers with ample experience who can handle all these aspects professionally, accurately and confidently.
