Choosing The Right Home Builder in Vancouver

There are many custom home builders in Vancouver BC, how do you choose the right one?

Because of this increased interest in custom house building in the Vancouver BC area, there is an increase of new home building contractors. We want to help you be aware of what to look out for, to make sure you find the one that is right for you.

There are several ways to identify the really good builders from the not so good builders. The right one is the one best suited for your needs and can exceed your expectations.

What Impression Do You Get from Their Business?

If the rest of their business isn’t well organized and run properly, you can be pretty sure that your project won’t be either. Here’s a short checklist:

• Read online reviews and comments from those who have contracted them
• Choose a team that communicates on platforms that are right for you
• Like any business, the way it is run is a reflection of the quality of their service. Their business is a direct reflection of their performance.
• How do they promote themselves? What claims do they make about themselves? Their website is a great place to start. Are the photos of their projects of professional quality? Is the site itself easy to use and navigate through?

What Are Their Clients Saying?

What was other’s experience with these home builders? Testimonials are always a good way to learn more up-front. Conducting proper due diligence saves a lot of surprises later on. Many times, you should be able to find their client feedback on a web page or their social media presence. You should consider the absence of reviews to be fair warning. Their performance reviews are likely mixed at best and you should search elsewhere.

Does the Builder Realize Your Vision or Theirs?

If the home builder focus’ on a particular style of design, it may be difficult to get them to realize your style or vision for your home. The whole idea behind “custom home builder” is that you are contracting them to build you a house that fits you.
