Custom Home Building Contractors

Need a custom home builder?

Building contractors range across a broad spectrum of building types including new and custom home construction, home additions, modular homes, and commercial/industrial applications.

Once you´ve decided what type of structure you want to build, selecting a qualified contractor is the next step. As with any construction professional, you´ll want to check references and licensing, and confirm that the contractor carries current liability and Workers´ Comp insurance, if needed.

Working with contractors will be easier for both parties if everyone works to ensure clear, detailed communication, and that as much detail as possible is captured in the contract to protect both parties. In the contract, make sure that the following points are clearly spelled out:

• Contractor duties
• Owner duties
• Drawings and specifications are included
• Permits to be filed in accordance with city or county regulations, and that all laws and statutes will be followed.
• Procedures for substitutions and change orders
• Insurance requirements for liability, owner´s liability, builder´s risk, and Workers´ Comp.
• Payment schedule
• Material storage
• Cleanup
• Utility connections if needed
• Warranties
• Time schedule for completion
