A new home construction is different than buying a pre-built home. Depending on which builder you choose, there will be different terms and conditions. It’s important to be prepared for any situation in which you are moving or spending a lot of money.

Your first contact with the builder, and most likely the last, will be with his sales representative. These meetings give you the opportunity to ask any questions about labor and costs before you commit to anything. Make sure to write down all your questions before you go so you don’t forget anything. And don’t be afraid to ask for the answers you need. You don’t want surprises later.

What is the cost of the lot?

Each plan has a base price when you are looking at custom home options. This includes the base cost of the structure as well as the interior and exterior elements (we’ll get into them in a bit). The cost of the land may not be included, so make sure you ask about this if you’re considering buying a custom home.
