Before you decide on a custom home builder for your project, look into these details. Is he qualified? He should possess an education from a reputed school in his field. Is he licensed to build homes in your state? A builder has to be licensed and have a valid updated builder's license to prove it. He has to be insured. If not, and there is an accident on your premises, you will be held liable for damages. Many builders will sub contract a part or parts of the construction process to others. Ask your builder if the sub contractors will be insured and boded too. Is he a member of builder associations in your area? This makes it safer for you in the event of a complaint.
Ask for a list of references and a portfolio of his work. Ask for phone numbers and addresses of these people. Call for an appointment, and ask if you can come over to have a look at their homes. Or drive by on a weekend when you're likely to find family members outside in the garden or in the front yard. Ask questions about the custom home builders. Did he complete the project on time and within budget? Are they happy with the looks and living conditions of their home? Would they recommend the builder? If there were problems, what were these? The more questions you ask and the more people you ask, the better your chances of finding a luxury custom home builder who's right for you.
Look for the tiny details that separate a great house from a good house. The finish of the walls should be superior and smooth and the quality of the cabinetry used should be impeccable. The trim and paints should be of high quality. Look for the things that you can miss, but which can cause your home to drop in value later -- there should be no gaps where the wall meets the windows or the doors. There should be a seamless transition from walls to cabinetry and countertops. Ask your builder as many questions as you want about the kind of material he will use, and ask for specifics.

We bought a one acre lot. We want to build a 8500-10,000 sq ft home. 4 Car attached garage. With a separate 3500 sq foot workshop/garage. Approximately what will it cost? We are not looking at the cheapest or the most expensive upgrades and expenses, just moderate. We have found floor plans we like that meet what we're looking for. They came from a book called ultimateplans.com. Plan # 161104. It has a main floor level, upper level floor plan and a basement level floor plan.
