Building your own home is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming. There are countless decisions to make, contracts to read, and details you might not even know to ask about.
Too many people run into headaches—and costly mistakes—simply because they didn’t know the right questions to ask. So I put this list together for you.
Whether you’re just starting to dream or you’re already talking to a builder, these questions will help you protect yourself, avoid surprises, and feel confident every step of the way.
Grab a coffee, take some notes, and remember: there’s no such thing as a dumb question when you’re building your own home.
Simple: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. There are way too many factors in building a house—your lot, local laws, your budget, the contractor’s style—and every situation is different. So instead of pretending there’s one perfect answer, I put together this massive list of questions you can ask any builder or contractor you talk to.
And honestly? Even if you don’t choose to work with us, keep this list. It’s a good way to protect yourself and make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into.
Remember, there’s no such thing as too many questions when it comes to building your home.
