Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 12, 2015 9:45 pm Hi Guys, Ive decided to Build a house and i have been looking around at a few builders. Please, ANY advice you can give me will really help. ie: - What do i need to watch out for - How do i choose a builder? - What can blow my budget - How can i save money - How do i avoid getting ripped off - ANY experience you can share to help me - ANY lessons you've learned. Please share guys. i'd really appreciate it. THANKS!!!! Re: HELP! First time Building a Home.! 2Jun 13, 2015 6:15 am Find the right builder for YOU. Not all builders are the same. You need to find a reputable builder who you can work with. Saving money by doing your own painting? OK with some builders but not an option with others. See what I mean? Be wary of P.S. items like sewer and stormwater etc. Choose everything before you sign up. What you ask could take up several pages but I wish you happiness. Take care. Re: HELP!
