Should you Build now?? … Or wait it out …

I think it is fairly safe to say that we all know someone, who knows someone, who has the greatest home building horror story you have ever heard!   

You know the one where the project builder has had to put the clients build on hold due to lack of materials, staff shortages or a hold up in delivery. Leaving the home owner forking out exorbitant amounts of money for the place they are having to rent as well as the mortgage on their new build.

With all the delays and hold ups that are happening right now in the building industry as far as the ordering and delivery of building materials this topic is hot right now.   So much so it is worthy of a full investigation because choosing the right builder from the very start will help save you money, time and not to mention extra stress during your construction.

Building a new home is meant to be an exciting, fun and happy time!

Without wanting this blog to sound like an advert, if you are considering building a new home in this economic climate, it is definitely worth your while to do your research and strongly consider working with a Custom Home Builder.

I can guarantee every Custom Home Builder has a super reliable team of experienced tradespeople behind them who can help you every step of the way but one of their truly great skills lies in the ordering and storage of your building materials.  

A Custom Home Builder is able to take the time to really fine tune your particular project in order to use your building materials in an exact Schedule and Timeline therefore saving you money.

It is a well known trade secret that a Custom Home Builder will have an established network of suppliers that they work with on a regular basis.

This means that they can get their hands on the best materials for your project quickly and easily. In addition, because they work with these suppliers so often, they have usually cultivated a good rapport and know them on a personal basis which will always produce more positive outcomes.  

This can end up saving you a substantial amount of money in the long run.

Now lets get back to the team of experienced Tradespeople that a Custom Home Builder always has behind them.  These tradespeople will all have an intimate knowledge of the building process and will be able to offer insights and suggestions that you may not have thought of yourself. In addition, because they all work so closely and together and on a regular basis, together they will be able to problem-solve much more quickly and efficiently if any issues arise during the construction process.

A good Custom Home Builder will set about pre ordering your building materials before the job even starts.   Pretty sure you will find their standards with regards to ordering, scheduling but more particularly the storage and care of all of your Building materials until they are ready to be used will be next level.

Its also worth asking to see one of their building sites.  A good Custom Home Builder would ensure that materials such as your timbers are covered (with heavy duty tarps) and protected from the weather.

Custom Home Builders also have available construction slots which means they only sign-up a certain number of contracts that their company can manage and complete efficiently.   

They can also guarantee build times because they know their business and their team so well which saves you rental costs and loan repayment fees and should have a rock solid specification and contract- this will avoid costly variations during works.

The moral of the story is when you are building your new home, be sure to ask your builder about their process for ordering and storing materials so you don’t end up with the best home build horror story anyone ever heard!
