How Do I Choose My North Carolina Builder?

Picking your North Carolina builder is the single most important decision in your journey toward building your North Carolina Dream Home. You'll want to find someone who pays attention to your goals and needs for the home, while also being your professional knowledge base - and trusted advisor - for home construction best practices.

Research your builder's reputation and past projects. How long is their typical build time? Are they building other homes close to your new piece of land? Do they take copious notes and 'log' as much info about the project (and its budget, schedule, etc.)  as possible?

​Is this someone you think you'll continue to enjoy working and communicating with over the course of the next six to twelve months - or more?

​Asking these questions ahead of time could save you months of frustration down the road toward living in your Charlotte, NC Area home.

What Kind Of Charlotte, NC Area Home Should I Build?

In today's Charlotte home construction market, both New Home Construction and Modular Home Construction are great choices in terms of long-term value. Keep in mind  modular homes are not mobile homes. A modular home in North Carolina will appreciate in price just as quickly as a traditional home constructed on the property. 

A Charlotte Area modular home will typically cost 10%-20% less to build than a “stick built” home. This can save you money overall, but you'll trade off in customization options available - and to a certain extent, the regional availability of the right kind of builder for your type of construction in the Charlotte area.

Discussing the pros and cons of Custom Construction vs. Modular Home Construction with a North Carolina builder or Charlotte Area modular home manufacturer can help you decide the most cost effective option for your Mecklenburg County Area home.

The Bottom Line...

It almost goes without saying that building your own home is an important - and daunting - process. You're about to sink a significant amount of money into literally building your dream! Make sure you find a builder whom you trust and feel that you can work with over the course of months (or more...).

With this investment, you're also investing into a building process, a warranty process, the craftsmanship of numerous subcontractors, a builder’s reputation, and most importantly, a  home built how you and your family want. Who you choose as your builder needs to be a partner and guide through the entire process, not simply someone who 'completes a transaction'.
