What makes a great custom home builder?

In the process of building your dream home? Or perhaps you have already bought a block of land and are ready to go? Whatever the case may be, ensuring you have a reputable custom home builder is crucial as building a new home should ensure your needs are met from start to finish.

With custom home builders such as us here at Lofty Building Group, the aim is to create a home that fits your lifestyle perfectly suiting your needs, style, budget, and even future considerations. Along with this, other significant factors to look for when choosing a builder include experience and reputation, reliability, attentiveness, and effective communication. Let’s have a look at it in more detail:

1. Experience

As building a new home is a substantial investment, you want to ensure you’re in trusty hands when picking a custom home builder. Some may even claim that they are experienced professionals when in reality they are more so used to building only a handful of standard designs.

We suggest and encourage you to do your research before signing on the dotted line straight away as you want to make sure that the builder is a good fit to match what you require for your new dream home. Remember, you’re going to be working closely with the business and the team for a decent length of time so you want to get it right.

With an award-winning team and 30+ years of experience, Lofty can guarantee you’re in safe hands and will happily chat about past projects, innovative ideas, and the vision you as an eager new homeowner may have for your build. custom home build

2. Reputation

Along with experience comes reputation. By using trusty Google, you can start to decipher between a good custom home builder and a not-so-good custom home builder. Reviews, awards, testimonials, and word of mouth are all good resources to use for sussing whether the business is suitable and reputable for you and your new home. Here at Lofty, we pride ourselves on our awards, our 4.3 star Google review, and the numerous positive testimonials from past projects.

3. Communication

Translating your ideas from a dream to a reality stems from clear translation from the beginning. A good custom home builder will have a set and consistent mode of communication whether it’s calls, weekly meetings, emails etc. to not only listen to your ideas but to also to help guide the building process and provide suggestions that align with your vision on how you want your new home to look. Having a builder on the same page who is also a clear communicator will make the entire process from start to finish a breeze – as well as a lot less stressful.

4. Flexibility

Choosing a custom home build design is ideally for those looking for more flexibility in their build. Therefore, a great custom home builder will ideally be pretty flexible when working with your suggestions and ideas. Beware of those builders that talk about flexibility, but have hundreds of standard plans because chances are, they are not that flexible and any changes might come with a hefty fee.

It is also worth noting that many of this type of builder are ill equipped to provide you with design advice, since it is simply not their forte and they may not have in house architects or designers. At Lofty, your requirements are our priority. We have an extensive knowledge of local suburbs including council guidelines, regulations and the planning and approval processes. Lofty Building Group Provides transparent advice upfront so you are aware of where you stand and don’t have to stress about your custom home project.

With a clearer understanding and more confidence, you will now know what to look for when it comes to finding a great custom home builder. We understand that these qualities and significant factors are crucial because we have built our business around them from the beginning. Whoever you choose, we find it important that you have access to all information when building your dream home and advise you to pick someone of a high standard such as Lofty.
