Home Building Contractor Tips - Expert Secrets
It doesn't matter whether you're building a brand-new
home or any other home improvements, these secrets from an expert home
building contractor can save you a lot of time, money and frustration if
you apply them correctly.
Always double check your contracts, general contractor, subcontractors,
building inspectors, engineers and architects. These people are human
and humans make errors and errors cost money. The only problem is you're
the one who's going to be paying the money if these people make
mistakes.
If the building inspector misses something that's important and it
creates problems years down the road, guess who's not going to be
responsible for this mistake. That's right, there's a good chance that
the building inspector will not be financially liable, because he missed
something while he was inspecting your home.
Familiarize yourself with the home-building process and building plans.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to spend a few hours each week examining the
progress of the home construction or remodeling project that you're
working on. If you were just to find one mistake and this mistake was
critical to the structure of the house, you could save yourself and the
contractor some headaches in the future.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to take pictures of the project, take them
home and examine them on a regular basis. If you have digital pictures,
you could always post them on a website that provides free picture
posting and have others examine them also.
Most contractors don't recommend this to homeowners, but I'm
recommending this to you. Spend the time checking and re-checking your
house for mistakes. Let's face it, people make mistakes and as long as
these mistakes aren't on your home, this isn't going to be your problem.
If these mistakes are made on your home, you now have something to be
concerned about.
