5 Things to Consider when Hiring your New Home Builder

1. Experience

Experience is important. It is vital you feel confident in your builders skills, knowledge of materials, and ability to navigate unique challenges. All this comes with experience. There are many moving parts to new home builds so you want to make sure your builder is confident they know what they are doing.

The R|K Construction Company has the experience and skills to ensure your home build is exactly as you had hoped. Across our team, we have the experience to get the job done well, on time and on budget. Our tradesmen bring years of experience but we as a company share the youthfulness to navigate unique challenges and explore more effective and efficient ways to build your new home.

2. Quality Assurance

We know how important your new home is to you. You need a quality home that will withstand the ages. That's why you should look for a builder who prioritizes quality over cost. Your home is a serious commitment and your builder should be serious about it too.

Here at The R|K Construction Company, we use top market materials and have honest and open conversations with you from the very start about cost and quality. We understand budget restraints and work with you to find the best materials for your family home.

3. What is the warranty they are willing to provide?

Builders need to provide you a warranty that protects you and your family from any loss from building defects or poor construction. If a builder can provide a long term warranty it shows they are confident in their work. This will give you peace of mind that your new home build is well built and will last years to come.

At The R|K Construction Company, we offer a lifetime warranty to our clients. All you have to do is call us. Our team will assess the problem and come out to fix it if it's warranty related. If it falls outside the warranty, we will simply quote and fix. We wont leave you high and dry once the project is done. Our clients become part of our family, so a life time warranty fits like a glove.

4. Read Reviews

Reviews can be the most reliable source of information for working with contractors. Their clients or those who have worked with them usually have nothing to gain or lose by writing their honest opinions. When choosing your contractor it is important to read what others are saying. Head over to google and check out their reviews. If you would like to learn more about past clients experiences, contact them through their google profile link or ask the contractor you are considering for the contact details of their past clients. 

At The R|K Construction Company we pride ourselves on our 5 star average rating. You can read our reviews on google here. 

5. Budget

The budget is debatably the most discussed part of planning a build. Your contractor must be completely open and honest with you about their build estimate. When deciding on a contractor to build your new home, be wary of going with the cheapest estimate. It may be the most attractive to you but it could result in unforeseen costs and expenses later down the road. 

We strive to have open and honest communication with our clients. We quote them as accurately as possible, and we keep the communication lines open throughout the entire home construction process. To see our price ranges head to our cost estimate page.

Ultimately, you want to feel like you can trust your contractor. Our simple advice is to trust your gut and do as much research as you can. Talk to past clients, and you’ll be smooth sailing.
