Very few relationships are as significant as your relationship with your property builder. At one point, it may even feel like a marriage, with a honeymoon stage, followed by arguments, reconciliations, and long discussions that lead to your achieving your residential goals.
The healthier your relationship with your home builder, the more convenient the construction process will be. Here are our top tips that will help you maintain a positive partnership with your home builder, leading to lower costs, lower stress, and satisfactory results.
Respect Your Builder
Sure, you’re paying them top dollar, but that doesn’t give you any leverage on the builder. They’re seasoned professionals with many years—or even decades—of practical and theoretical knowledge that you don't possess, and you owe them respect.
Similarly, your builder also has to respect the feelings and emotions attached to building your dream home, as well as your financial investment. They must abide by everything mentioned in the contract to show they respect your time and budget.
Clear Communication
Communication is the key to cultivating a relationship with your home builder. A lack of communication can lead to discrepancies, confusion, and arguments, making the entire process hard for both the builder and the buyer.
From your first interaction with the builder, make sure you communicate everything you need verbally and in black and white. Share contact information, including phone numbers, office addresses, and email addresses.
Decide who the main person to contact for both parties is, and an alternative point of contact, to be used in case of unavailability. Make sure to document everything discussed over emails or phone calls to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
Be Flexible
If you’re all set to build your new dream home, be prepared for last-minute changes. Constructing a home is a long process, and most things don't go as planned. There could be delays due to unexpected weather conditions, including wind and rainstorms, when it isn't safe for the builders to continue work.
It's better to be flexible about the changes than pinning it all on your builder. Track the construction process regularly and give room to your builders for delays and modifications.
