Ten questions for your interview
Use the same questions with each builder so the answers are comparable.
- 1. Have you built on a lot with conditions like mine?
- 2. Who will supervise day-to-day work and be my contact?
- 3. What is included or excluded from the estimate?
- 4. Which selections are allowances, and when do they need to be made?
- 5. How do you handle site surprises and change orders?
- 6. Which permits and reviews are needed for this property?
- 7. When and how will I receive schedule and budget updates?
- 8. What inspections or quality checks occur during construction?
- 9. Can I see relevant completed work and speak with references who consent?
- 10. What are the written warranty terms and claim steps?
Compare the documentation
Ask to see a sample scope, allowance schedule, change order, and warranty document. A detailed process makes it easier to spot missing costs and understand how decisions will be made when construction is under way.
