We at United Building Contractors want you to have the home of your dreams!

Below is a list of a few things to consider before moving ahead with your project.

1. Select an Architect and/or Designer to create the plans for your home on paper. The more detail, the better for all parties.

The plans should include:

  • HVAC.
  • Electrical.
  • Plumbing.
  • Site Plan.
  • Window selection.

2. Select your builder. When deciding on a builder, be sure to check references.

Also:

  • Speak to previous clients.
  • Tour other homes built by the builder.
  • Ensure that you have a good rapport with your builder, as constructing a custom home is a very personal experience. You will be spending a lot of time with your builder!

3. Have a good idea or scope of your finishing details.

Such as:

  • Kitchen layout and cabinetry.
  • Furniture layout / usability of the room.
  • Interior door hardware.
  • Flooring (tile, hardwood, carpet, etc.)
  • Exterior details.
