There
are many issues you will encounter when looking for a company to build your dream
home. This blog tries to deal with all of these, but it occurred to me that
there is one that is overlooked and because it is at the very start of your
search, I thought it was worthy of special mention...
The issue I am
referring to has to do with who it is that is actually selling you your new
home. Is he/she just a 'Salesman'? It's hard to find salespeople that are
experienced in Home Design and Construction so, more often than not, you might
just be talking to a 'Salesman'...someone who has no idea about what he/she is actually
selling you.
Whilst the issue of design etc., is important, there's also the issue of pricing up your new home. These 'salespeople', due to their inexperience, will also more than likely not allow for everything that is required (therefore underestimating costs) potentially leaving you to be surprised by a higher Tender price.
Be very careful to ask the questions that you need to ask especially if you need to make any changes in design or if your block is not the average block. There are too many variables to be able to list them here, suffice to say that you will need someone who has done this many times before and has ample experience.

For your peace
of mind I have outlined below, a little about me and my history within the
construction industry...
