Home Builders – New Residential Custom Home Construction

Building a new home is exciting, complicated and without a doubt scary, as well. In most cases, building a new home is the largest expense you will ever experience.  As with buying an existing home, building one is a significant investment and should not be taken lightly. You and your family will spend a long time in your home so this should be a careful and considered decision.  Building your dream home has many advantages over buying an existing home, renovating your current home, or even remodeling your existing home but there are several considerations to be addressed when deciding to build a home:

l   What are your current living needs and your future needs?
Ø   Consider you and your spouse’s idea of a perfect home
Ø   Discuss these requirements with all family members for their perspective
Ø   What about children and how they affect the layout and design
Ø   What about the concept of living in place into retirement
Ø   What about elderly family members you may need to care for in the future
l   Consider the lot and the area where you want to live
Ø   Does it have great value now and will it hold or increase the value
Ø   Investigate the surrounding neighborhoods and areas as well
Ø   Is the area you desire prosperous for local businesses
Ø   If you prefer the seclusion of a rural area, will it stay rural
Ø   If you prefer the convenience of the city, is it in decline
l   Consider your builder and do the necessary due diligence on their background, experience, and recommendations
Ø   Your home builder of choice should be capable of consulting with you to advise on many of the important considerations
Ø   Experienced builders should be able to advise on all aspects of building a home including:
u  The type of house to build
u  The ideal lot
u  Knowledge of the surrounding area
Ø   An experienced builder has addressed concerns with previous clients and has knowledge and experience to deal with them

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection provides information on the protections provided by law for CT consumers when you are considering who to choose to build your home.  Connecticut state law provides certain protections to people buying or building new homes, but the best way to protect your investment when taking on a home construction project is to be extremely well informed.  Visit the Connecticut state website for consumer protection and their new home fact sheet.
