You’re listening to ‘Buildipedia’, the go-to podcast that helps Australians build the home of their dreams. By covering the entire journey, from buying your home through to design, building, selling and everything in between, we will help you fill in the blanks and bring your property visions to life! In this episode, we'll be discussing a topic that's critical to the success of any building project: how to choose the right builder. Building a home is a huge investment, and by selecting the right builder, that can make all the difference in terms of the quality of the finished product, the timeline, and your overall experience. We'll be providing you with expert insights and tips to help you navigate this crucial decision-making process. KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS 1. Horses for courses - Selecting the builder who has the right expertise and experience for the project. You should be aware of their capabilities and limitations to avoid expecting too much from them. Getting the right person for the job will ensure that your expectations are aligned with what can be delivered. 2. Reference Check - By doing your homework and thoroughly checking references, you can avoid hiring a builder who is inexperienced, unreliable, or unprofessional. This can save you from potential delays, cost overruns, and poor quality work that could affect the success of your project. 3. Be upfront and clear - You should tell the builder what you expect from the project and have an open conversation with them about it. Engaging with them and asking questions can help you understand their approach and whether they are the right fit for your project. CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
