You are planning to construct your dream house. As you get done with the designing phase, now is the time to find a construction company that can turn your dream into reality. But as you get one step closer to your destination, hold on and ask your construction company a few things.

Expected Time for Completion

Eager to know when your new home will be ready? You are not alone. One of the first and most important things you need to know from your construction company is how long it will take to complete your house. While you may get some unexpected delays in the construction of your home, it is always better to have a general idea of what to expect. Don't forget to ask about the time it takes to get the residence permit, as it can take between 30 and 45 days.

Included Warranties

Just because the construction company is constructing your new home does not mean that there would be no problems in the house. Fortunately, most construction companies provide warranties, including the long-term structural warranty and the short term warranties for the entire house. It is always recommended that you should ask for what the warranties include and for how long are the warranties valid.

What About Landscaping?

Whether you have a large yard or a small one, landscaping can cost you a lot. As you choose a construction company don't forget to ask whether this cost is factored into the cost of construction, or will you have to pay for it separately? Some construction companies include basic landscaping, while others leave the yard for you. So instead of setting up inadequate expectations and having last minutes disappointment, it is always better to ask beforehand.

Combustion Safety

Aware of how combustion can be a safety threat for your family? Ask your construction company about it. Make sure your construction company takes adequate measures for natural draft water heaters or fireplaces without a vent. In case of a conditioned space, you would never want to risk your home.

Third-Party Inspection

Make sure you ask your construction company whether they allow for a third-party inspection. This independent inspection plays a critical role in identifying potential loopholes in the construction. Reliable construction companies allow third-party inspection that can help verify the wiring, plumbing, heating, and other specifications of your newly constructed home.

Even the most inexperienced construction company would know a lot more than you about the construction of new homes. But still, you have the right to ask a few things for your satisfaction. And to help you with the process, we have provided you with a list so you can get started.
