Everyone has a dream home. And when you decide its time to have yours built, you will need a reliable home builder. The builder can either make or break your dream home. Here are some tips to help you hire the right contractor for the job.

Know his reputation. When hiring a builder, it is important to ensure that you are hiring the services of a reputable contractor in the industry. Doing otherwise usually is likely to put you at risk of hiring a builder who has a record of running away before the project is finished or someone who got sued for building a substandard home. In order to ensure that this doesn't happen to you, ask for a number of references that he has ever worked for. Find out whether or not he is a really good builder. If all his previous clients were completely satisfied with his services, you can hire him. If not, by all means feel free to find someone else.  

Check his skills and experience. Of course, it is important to know whether your prospective builder has the ability and experience in doing the type of construction that you require. Check out his portfolio or previous work samples. Know the types of home he has ever built. If you're planning to build on a slopping block, make sure that you hire someone who as ample experience and skills in building on the same kind of block. It is also important to know whether or not he has ever used some of the popular and modern home construction techniques known today.

When hiring a home builder always ask for a guarantee. Actually, professional home builders usually offer guarantee if the project didn’t turn out the way their clients wanted or designed. It is also important to make sure that the builder can work within your budget limit. Ask about his service rate and create a detailed written contract to formalize the deal.
