How do I find a reputable home builder in Asheville to build my dream home?
When someone asks me how to find a reputable builder in the Asheville area it usually means they don't want to get ripped off or see cheap materials replace the original building materials agreed upon or have construction delayed for whatever reason the builder might come up with.
There are a number of ways to find a reputable home builder in the Asheville area and we will get to those in a minute. First, let's discuss some of the realities home builders face (and so do the owners of the home being built).
Fortunately, our climate allows for a long building season. Of course we see weather delays now and then. For safety reasons a lot of builders won't work in the rain or sub-freezing weather. Of course, there are some steps in the building process that you don't want going on in foul weather when moisture can be captured within walls, etc.
Material costs can fluctuate. Construction materials are truly based on supply and demand. A lot of suppliers have cut production and inventory because of the current recession. This has driven the price of materials up. There was a time after Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters that plywood prices went hay-wire and roofing materials were hard to get. Fuel costs can affect the cost to deliver the goods to the supplier and the job site, especially in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
This is a hard time for residential builders right now. In a good economy builders typically have pretty small profit margins. You can be sure that some builders are cutting their already narrow margins to get the work.
This could be a good thing because you might save some money in the construction of your home, but who knows how thin that margin will be at the closing table? And what will happen if the builder under estimated the cost to build the home? Will this determine the quality of the finished product? I don't have hard answers
