Building a new home is one of the most exciting things you can do. Like every other exciting thing, there comes a point in the build when you feel that you simply cannot wait anymore, and that you need to move in as soon as humanly possible.

That is perfectly normal, and it is also normal to wish that your homebuilder could complete your build sooner rather than later. However, as the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait, and there are some very good reasons to be patient just a little bit longer.

Quality Can’t Be Rushed

The truth is, building a home right takes time. There are things that simply cannot be rushed. Concrete must set for a certain amount of time. Paint will take a certain amount of time to dry. Custom cabinets do take time to be manufactured.

Good homebuilders take their time to make sure they deliver a quality product that will offer years of trouble free service. You would not want to rush that, and deal with the inferior results, would you?

Communication Is Key

If you are ever interested in the progress of your home, simply ask your homebuilder. However, there is a time when you can go to far. Pestering your builder every day about every little thing, is not in your best interest or your builders. It just makes everyone frustrated.

Your builder will let you know of the home's completion timeline and will give you an idea of what is happening when. With us, you will communicate with the sales persona and closing coordinator but not usually with the builder himself. This is a standard practice among home builders.

You will receive regular communication through the building process about the progress of your home. If you don't hear from them for awhile, a short call or email is definitely okay. Just make sure to be civil and polite, so that both sides enjoy free and easy communication!

Patience Is Rewarded

When it comes to building customized new homes, the truth is that it does take time. By about halfway through, you will probably be itching to move in and put your stamp on things. That is perfectly normal, but try to exercise a little patience and restraint. Your homebuilder wants to be proud of the product they deliver, and that means taking the time to do things right.

As the project reaches the end, however, depending on the builder’s policy you may be able to tour your home so you can get a feel for the space. If you are not about to tour your home while it is still under construction, check to see if there is a model home of your plan that you can tour for decorating ideas and a feel of your future home. That should give you something to focus on as you exercise that super human restraint.

Do not worry though. If you are working with a great homebuilder, they will probably deliver your new home right on time, and it will be your dream home. Now isn’t that worth waiting for?
