3 Questions to Ask a Builder When Considering New Construction

When it comes to buying new construction, asking the right questions can be the key to a smooth experience from start to finish. 

Ask a builder these three questions before getting started:

1) Is there a lot premium? 

Knowing whether there's an additional cost for premium lots can help you find the perfect location within your budget. Unaware buyers can easily fall in love with lots that subtly or significantly increase their costs.

2) What are the standard finishes? 

Get familiar with the standard features and finishes included in the base price of the home. Then, you’ll be able to decide what upgrades are best based on your preferences and style.

Popular upgrades that may up the value of your home in 2023? Higher ceilings, added square footage (bump out a wall), and energy-efficient windows. 

3) How flexible are you with customization?

Every builder has their own level of flexibility when it comes to personalizing a home. While some may be open to significant structural changes, others might stick strictly to predetermined layouts with minor adjustments.
