Building a new construction home will likely be one of the most time-consuming and expensive undertakings of your life. The benefits of having a new construction home are well worth the effort, as long as you choose a home building company that’s equipped to handle all aspects of the job.
It can be overwhelming to vet home builders on your journey to a new construction home. You’ll need to gather a considerable amount of information from each one to make an informed choice, and this article discusses a few questions you can ask prospective home builders in Los Angeles to ensure you’re choosing a reputable, reliable company.
Are you licensed and insured in this state?
Choosing a home builder with the proper qualifications to handle your project is extremely important. In California, home builders typically need to be licensed by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). The Department of Consumer offers a convenient website to check if a construction company holds a valid license for the type of work you’re seeking.
Nagar Builders is a licensed and insured home builder capable of handling the entire construction process from start to finish.

Can I choose and change the layout of my new construction home?
You’ll want to find a home builder who understands and respects your vision for your new property. This starts with the initial design phase, where you’ll select a layout and voice your ideas for customization to meet your personal desires.
If you change your mind or run into restrictions on your original plan, your home builder should be flexible enough to accommodate your evolving wishes and needs. Confirm this by asking your home builder about what level of personalization you can expect with the layout and design of your new construction home.
Our team can work with you to choose and adapt a layout that suits your needs. And, we can make updates throughout the construction project should your expectations or circumstances change during the building phase.
What kind of post-construction support do you provide?
Having confidence in your builder throughout the entire home building process is vital. This includes the post-construction phase in which your home builder should take you through the property in a final walkthrough to inspect it and make sure it meets both building codes and your personal standards. If you do find areas of the home that need attention from the builder, you should ask how they plan to support your requests and address any issues.
