[QUOTE="halcat, post: 605319, member: 2295"] Make sure your builder asks you a lot of questions. when I do a commercial project I get a set of plans and a spec book one inch thick. When I build a house I get a set of plans and that's all.he has to know what you want and if he isn't willing to ask, he don't care. Everybody has there way of doing things, you have to find a builder that wants to do things your way. it won't cost you any more so make sure you know everything up front. Do your homework. Make sure you understand the "lingo" on building. A split heating system to you could mean a thermostat in every room and to him it could mean a heat exchanger inside and condenser outside. There could be a 5k difference in cost right there. the best way is to find a builder that builds a lot of houses in your price range. A builder that builds big houses can build a small house but it may have a $1000.00 kitchen faucet in it. Wrong. Look at one of his houses and say " I want a house built just like this". Watch out for the cheep house with nice lights and fancy door knobs. And don't spend a lot of money on carpet and paint, you can change that any time. You'll be tired of what ever you put in it after a few years anyway. [/QUOTE]
