3 Tips for monitoring the progress of your new home build
Building your dream home is an exciting journey, but it's important to stay informed about the progress every step of the way.
Here are some practical tips to help you keep track of your home build without getting lost in the process:
Schedule On-Site Inspections Regularly (with your Builder present!)
Arrange with your builder to conduct on-site inspections before each payment claim. Being physically present allows you to visually assess progress and address any concerns promptly. Take notes during inspections to document agreed outcomes and make informed decisions.
Maintain Clear Communication Channels
Establish open lines of communication with your builder from the beginning. Regularly discuss your expectations, concerns, and any changes to the original plans. Keep records of all meetings and agreements to ensure accountability and clarity.
Set Realistic Milestones and Deadlines
Work collaboratively with your builder to establish realistic milestones and deadlines for different stages of the construction process. Clear timelines help manage expectations and anticipate potential delays. Remain flexible and adjust timelines as needed based on evolving circumstances.
By following these practical tips, you can effectively monitor the progress of your new home build and ensure that it stays on track towards completion. Remember, clear communication and proactive engagement are key to a successful construction journey.
