Trust the Process

Choosing a builder for your new home isn’t only about the structure you’d like to build. In many respects, the builders in a geographic area are likely to use many similar materials in their homes, and some of the very trade partners they contract with (electricians, painters, plumbers) are the same. You aren’t going to a particular builder because of the brand of lumber they build homes with, but because you trust that they know the best way to acquire quality materials to construct a cost-efficient and lasting home. Through all of the homebuilding details, trust is key to the entire process, and both builder and homebuyer should trust the overall building schedule. It should come as no surprise that a home building process can turn sideways when someone acts outside an established system. Homebuilders can shoot themselves in the foot by bending rules and making exceptions, and homebuyers can add unnecessary stress and burden to their lives when they act outside construction guidelines.

Can mistakes happen even with an established process? Certainly they can. However, good processes contain a series of safety nets from start to finish. These safety nets are in place to protect everyone involved, and make sure everyone remains on the same page. Even when the home building is proceeding smoothly and peacefully these safety nets should be used and checked along the way. They are there for a reason.

So whether it be locations, floorplans or home features that attract you to a specific builder, remember those details are only part of the entire equation. Make sure to find out about the builder’s process, and make sure you feel comfortable putting all your trust into it from start to finish.
