I’m thinking about buying land myslef and building a new house in New Jersey. Can someone recommend a good homebuilder? Also, websites where I can find Land?
Thanks.
(and I don’t mean ready made developments like Toll Bros offers, but I want to build a house to my specifications).
Thanks.
I cannot recommend any builder’s in New Jersey as I’m from the Midwest, but it was suggested to me to check with local lumber yards in the building materials area. Those folks work with builders everyday and may be able to give you the names of a few reputable contractors. I checked at the big chain lumberyards as the smaller privately owned stores and ended up with a few names to look into for my own home. Also check with your local building department. They may be able to provide the names of builder’s who have built in the area…especially customer builders. Defiantly seek out recommendations from family and friends if anyone has built a home recently.
If you get some good recommendations and are trying to decide who would be best for the job, this information might help you. I ran across it when looking for a home plan, and I found some things I hadn’t considered when choosing a builder for my home. There are some tips about getting bids and estimates as well and checking out a builder’s qualifications
