Take the Time to Check References

resize-whales-view.JPGThe most distinguished builders in the area expect and even want you to check their references. More luxury home clients are taking the time to do this research as the move toward quality workmanship continues to grow. Here are 8 good questions to ask a builder’s last clients.
1. Are you happy with your home?
2. Did the builder respect the budget and give and honest appraisal of costs early on?
3. Was the house built on schedule?
4. Did the builder bring creativity to your project?
5. Were you well informed so that you properly understood each phase of the construction?
6. Was the builder accessible and on-site?
7. Does the builder provide good service now that the project is complete?
8. How much help did you get from the builder in the choosing of the products in your home?

Smith Brothers Construction provides all of these great questions to ask. What we like about that is they are being accountable as a company by asking themselves these questions. You know they are working with a concept and a mission which in the more recent building boom was lost just a bit.

Most of the homes in this area are becoming luxury. Homes on the Mauka (Mountain) side sell for over a million. Those on the Makai (ocean side) of the street are ranging from 3-5 million on average depending on the home. When spending these kinds of dollars you really do want to work with the best only. Do your research, take the time and please check the references.
