# Questions to Ask Your Home Builder

![questions-2245264_1920.jpg](https://www.landabuilders.me/hs-fs/hubfs/questions-2245264_1920.jpg?width=700&name=questions-2245264_1920.jpg)

If you are thinking about building a custom home, choosing the right home builder is a key step in creating the home of your dreams.  Beyond simply hiring a professional to build your home, you are entering into a collaborative relationship with the person responsible for turning your custom home vision into a reality.  This relationship will be central to your home building expereience, so choosing the right builder is extremely important.  

The [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.nahb.org/en/consumers/home-buying/questions-to-ask-your-homebuilder.aspx) recommends that you consider the following questions when evaluating potential home builders:

- Will the builder give you references of recent buyers/occupants?
- Does the builder have a financing plan established?
- Are there options in the floor plan — for example, can a basement or deck be added?
- Can a room such as the basement be left unfinished?
- How much "customizing" can be done versus standard features?
- Are there any additional fees relating to the home or development?
- Does the builder offer a warranty program?
- Does the price include landscaping? What if the plants die within a year?
