The Process Of New Home Construction NH

By Linda Ward


Getting a new house can be quite exciting. However, the hustle of shopping for readymade houses can be quite hard. Some houses are overpriced and with poor finishing. It is better to have a new home construction NH as you will be in charge of the design and quality of your premises.

Building a house is quite extensive and detailed. As a homeowner, you need to have a general knowledge of the process that takes place in constructing a house. A design or house plan is the first thing to be addressed. An architect or a home designer will help you come up with a suitable plan. A homebuilder or project manager then oversees the whole process of building.

The builder will be one responsible for hiring sub contractors such as electricians, specialists for plumbing work, painters and contractors to establish the foundation. The first step in building a house entails preparation of site and pouring of foundation. The floor, wall and roof system are then completed in a rough framing process.

A rough installation of parts concerned with plumbing, electricity and HVAC system is done after the rough framing process. The building is then insulated followed by completion of drywall, interior fixtures and working on exterior finishes. Walkways and driveways are constructed later when interior trim are being worked on. The last step entail working on finer details of different surfaces.

A good home comes as a result of having a great homebuilder. Therefore, one should be critical when searching for a company to hire. There are various ways of obtaining information on the available contractors in New Hampshire. Homebuilders are listed in the local Home Builders Association website. Local contractors are listed in the real estate section of newspapers or magazines. Acquaintances and relatives who have recently had a home constructed can give a trusted recommendation. Real estate agents can also provide relevant information.

After conducting a search, come up with a list of contractors who caught your attention and set to interview them. During the interview, ask them all the questions you have in mind. Know about their working experience around New Hampshire. Visit the houses that a contractor has recently built. Most importantly, talk to the house owner to determine if the contractor delivered to their promise.

The quality of work that a company delivers will be evident in several features. These features include tiles, cabinetry, trim work and carpeting. The estimated cost can act as a guide, however, the cheapest is not always the best. Get a contract from the contractor and go through it before signing it. It should be clear on the design, materials, cost, warranties and payment schedule.

To avoid incurring costs of repair and replacements, it is prudent to select materials that are of good quality. Permits are required during construction in New Hampshire and it is up to the contractor to provide them. When the building is completed, the homeowner should conduct a thorough inspection to ascertain that the work is flawless. Any appliances, faucets, lights and windows should be working. Workmanship guarantees and home warranties will be used to sort out premature malfunctions and repair.
