The excitement is real & overwhelming, as is the gut-wrenching nervousness. You’re ready to build your custom home, but you’re not sure what questions to ask. As the client, it’s important to gain insight into how the custom home building company works. Do they stay on time, on budget, what’s the communication like, and how do they respond to questions & concerns? Getting references and speaking with former clients will provide you with information & clarity. Knowing the questions to ask will guide you on your home building journey.
Here at Compass Homes, your Columbus custom home builders, we meet with clients daily to answer their questions about building with us. When it comes to building a custom home, we’ve got the experience, the client /builder relationship, the communication skills, references from previous clients, and the expertise to make your home building a rewarding & empowering experience.
