Make it Make Cents: A recent question came in, asking, "Is price the most important thing when comparing builders?"
The short answer is no.
The long answer reveals several factors for prospects to consider -
• Does the builder listen to your needs and provide a comprehensive scope of work in their estimate, covering off on all aspects of the project?
• Does the builder have a positive reputation, preferably through word of mouth or social media groups, particularly those that don't do paid advertisements?
• Are the materials quoted the same across all your estimates?
• Is the builder equipped to handle the paperwork for your building permits?
• Can the builder offer architectural services when needed?

Make it Make Cents Solutions for all your building needs!
