Horncastle Homes wise advice
I
f you are embarking on the building process and have felt overwhelmed by the massive number of building companies to choose from, or had a burning question you wanted to ask a reputable builder, you are probably not alone. Horncastle Homes Auckland manager, Murray Stiven shares valuable information on how to choose a builder and what to look out for. Researching the shortlist of building companies is the best approach. Talk to recent customers that have built and don’t be afraid to ask the builder for names of recent customers for you to talk to. Before you sign with a builder, confirm that the agreement includes a full specification of what is included and make sure that it is a true fixed priced agreement. Check for hidden costs. A reputable building company will also be transparent on costs so the customer has a clear understanding of what they will get for their building budget. Ask for a clear outline of build times, who and how your build will be managed and check the experience of your project manager. Ask for evidence of their build warranty and what is included and how any maintenance issues will be managed and for what period. Take independent advice before signing. If you are after some sound advice on building
a new home, don’t hesitate to give the Horncastle Homes team a call. With more than 20 years experience, Horncastle Homes is a privately owned, residential building company that has been active in the
