Are you ready to build? Are you sure? What are the steps to ensure you get off to the right foot? Do you have a plan for water intrusion and material availability?

Ask these questions of your contractor before you sign anything:

1- Materials, do you know what is going to be used on your home. Are they available, local and stocked? Are they weather durable and meant for the Pacific Northwest?

2- Do you know how your contractor will install your materials? Are they using best practices?

3- Do you know how long this will take to build your project? Who will be on site building your home or your remodel?

4- Is your contract built to incorporate the materials, process, schedule and agreements?

5- Do you know how your contractor will treat your home? How they will be around your children? When and where the Porta-Potty will be used? Where they will store materials? Where they will park? Who will be at your home and when?

If you don't have those things figured out ahead of time, DON'T sign the construction contract!! Require each item to be spelled out on a legally binding contract. This is called the preconstruction phase of construction, and most construction companies ignore it. DON'T BE FOOLED, ASK FOR IT IN WRITING!
