    Being a builder I am always interested to know how people stumbled on my name when searching through the countless local contractors obtainable in their area. So I usually ask the question, 'How did you hear about me'? The answers I've encounter are very creative and would benefit anyone who is attempting to create a new home and trying to find home builders in their area.
    5 Suggestions to Getting Started:
    Ask the local bank I usually hear this answer and it is sensible if you were to think about it. Your local bank underwrites lots of home loans for home consumers and builders in your area. Bankers are the ones who know if the home builder remained within budget or went $30,000 over budget. She or he knows which builders are in financial difficulty and which builders are not. Most local banks require custom builders to become 'skilled' or keep an 'approved' local builders list on file. Asking your bank for recommendations is a good spot to start because he/she will not suggest contractors which are not top-quality. Banks need happy clients, and that results in a custom builder who are able to supply within budget and on-schedule.
    Open Houses/Realtor Attend open houses of previously created custom homes in your area. We found out about http://www.avelinghomes.com.au/ by searching newspapers. This will permit you to start to see the level of quality that the particular custom builder provides. You can see first-hand how a materials and craftsmanship of the home is aging after 3-5 years. If you want (or dislike) your house, ask the realtor, 'Who's the designer with this home '? The broker will most likely know the answer or can find out for you from the owners.
    Friends Bad company experiences spread faster than a forest fire. You'd surely warn all of your friends in case a builder went a large number of dollars over budget and you had to acquire a second mortgage. Ask friends and coworkers if they know any local residential contractors.
    Links' Web sites Every state or city includes a home building association. These house building companies can offer a list of local contractors that are members of their organization. These are great home building resources just because a legitimate home builder would have been a member of these types of home building organizations.
    NAHB may be the National Association of Home Builders http://nahb.org
    Your State HBA
    Your Area or County's HBA
    Your State House Builder Licensure Board/Agency
    Architect or Draftsman Whenever using a local architect or draftsman who renders your property strategies, ask them for a set of local residential companies in the region. If they are ready to give referrals, ask if they would recommend two or three contractors that they think would work very well together with your character, house size and budget. Your draftsman is now knowledgeable about your model throughout the plans level and they are able to recommend local building professionals for the bidding process.
