But we’re also experts in the home building process. We’ve built enough homes from the ground up to know what’s important and what’s not. We deal with different challenges every single day.

And in many cases, this may be your one shot to get it right. Sure, you may do a little sleuthing online to find out what’s important for selecting the right company. We know there are many choices when selecting a local homebuilder.

While many companies focus on the standard questions you should ask, we like to stretch a little beyond and get to the things you don’t know to ask. Here are a few questions to ask your builder before signing a contract:

What’s the best way to stay on budget for my build?

Most home builders won’t have any trouble helping you spend money. But how many of them will help you stick with your budget?

Too many companies focus on one number: the contracted price. In reality, there are a lot of numbers that go into that bottom line. The largest piece of any new home project is the construction costs. But many other items make up the final price, such as:

  • Land costs
  • Legal fees
  • Moving expenses
  • Decorating costs
  • Landscaping
  • Financing costs

There are also closing costs, which can add thousands of dollars to the building process. Usually, companies know that by the time you reach closing, you are already invested in the process and are ready for your new home, so the closing costs may push the total cost above your budget. With Madison Homebuilders, there is no down payment or construction loan required, and we will pay up to $5,000 toward your closing costs. Learn more about our financing options to save money in the building process.

How can I choose the right floor plan?

A recent study showed that almost half of Americans had buyer’s remorse when it came to the selection of their homes, wishing they had erred on the side of more space is their biggest complaint. Instead of having to settle for a pre-existing home, why not select your perfect house from dozens of house plans?

More choices in floor plans mean more likelihood of you finding your dream home. If you want three bedrooms, isn’t it better to have dozens to look at to get your ideal placement?

We can help walk you through the entire process. We ask the right questions and know which floor plan will best meet your needs.

What does green mean and how will it be incorporated into my home?

Green is a buzzword in the industry that many local homebuilders like to throw around. But what does it mean?

Green means sustainability or energy efficient. You’ll benefit by having a home that runs better and costs less to operate, every single month of the year.

We don’t hide behind what we choose to include as green technology in our builds. We show you right on our website. And if you want even more ways to save, we’re happy to help you make your selections.

How can I avoid buyer’s remorse after the process is finished?

One of the easiest ways to avoid negative feelings from the moment you move into your new home is to be involved in the process. Negative feelings often come with quick decisions. But when you take the time to thoroughly weigh your options and consider the best route for you and your family, you’ll feel better about your final choices.

We’re not saying weigh every single decision for weeks on end. There’s a fine line between keeping the ball rolling and being comfortable with the outcome. We can help you along the way.

Having an expert at your disposal means you can draw on our experience to ensure you make the right choice for the right reasons. With over 1,000 houses under our belt, we can share ideas and simple modifications to our floor plans made by other customers that might just suit your needs as well.

That’s how you move on and enjoy.

Can I really afford to build my own home?

Building your own home seems like something reserved for people building only the highest-end homes. But that isn’t the case when you use Madison Homebuilders as your local homebuilder.

We offer many different programs to make building your own home not only affordable but also an easy process.With Madison Homebuilders, qualified land owners do not have to pay a down payment, which means you don’t have to pay any money out of pocket (except the application fee) until your home is built. We will also pay up to $5,000 of your closing costs.

While we are talking about savings, when you build with Madison we cover all the upfront construction costs associated with building your new home.  You won’t need to arrange and pay for a construction loan to cover the expense of your build. Madison builds your home using our money so you’ll save thousands in construction loan interest and upfront fees.

Madison Homebuilders also offers special savings for local heroes. If you are a firefighter, teacher, healthcare professional, law enforcement officer, or a member of the military, we have special benefits just for you. Check out our list of occupations to see if you qualify.
