The items under "QUALITY" on the previous page should be a standard service offered by your custom home builder.
	Custom Home Builders should provide you with computerized floor plans and elevations of your new design that show you exactly how your dream home will look once it is completed.
	Scheduled meetings between you and your home builder to walk through your home as it is being constructed are very informative and helpful. Some of the meetings you should expect your custom home builder to schedule are:

The cabinet and trimwork walk through is conducted in the same manner as the electrical so you can make adjustments if it is warranted.

Your builder should arrange a meeting once a week (in person or by phone if you are not available to meet) to review what has happened during the last week and what will happen the next week as new home construction progresses.

Many home builders have a full time interior designer and a in house designer studio show room to assist you as you make your selections and create your dream home. You will find this one of the best services your builder can provide because it enables you to:

Make your selections from the convenience of the builders design center vs. having to travel all over the city to visit the suppliers show room or warehouse.

Having the majority of your selection in one room allows the interior designer to "lay out all your choices in one grouping" for your approval. You can then use all the options available in the designer studio to determine if substitutions of certain materials will improve your "entire interior design package".

Your custom builder should be in a position to address any special needs you may have. Present a list of your special needs and see how the builder you are considering responds. The response you receive from the builders may assist you in selecting the builder you would like to build your dream home!!!!!
