5 Important Questions to Ask Before You Build

Building a home is a significant investment, and ensuring you have the right builder is crucial to a smooth and successful experience. Here are five important questions to ask your builder before starting the process:


1. What’s Included in the Price?

Building timelines can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the project, weather conditions, and the builder’s efficiency.

3. How Much Can I Personalise My Home?

Your home should reflect your personal style and needs, which is why understanding the level of customisation offered by your builder is vital. At Garraway Developments, we offer a flexible approach, allowing you to personalise your home’s design and finishes to suit your lifestyle. From minor tweaks to major design alterations, our team works closely with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring your home is uniquely yours.


4. How Are Changes and Variations Handled?

Throughout the building process, changes can occur—whether due to personal preference or simply a change or heart. It’s important to understand how your builder manages these changes and any associated costs. Garraway Developments emphasises a client-first approach with open and honest communication. Our team guides you through any adjustments, ensuring you’re fully aware of the implications, both in terms of cost and timeline, allowing for a seamless and stress-free experience.


5. What Does the Handover Process Involve?

At Garraway Developments, our handover process is thorough and client-focused. The handover process is a critical stage in your building journey and consists of a completion walkthrough and the handover. Our team conducts a detailed inspection before the completion walk through to address any issues, and ensure every aspect of your home meets our high standards. We believe it’s our job to find and rectify any issues, not yours.  Our completion walk through with you ensures all final checks are completed, and you’re satisfied with the result. Then comes the exciting part, the handover where you receive the keys to your new home.

At Garraway Developments, we believe in building not just homes, but relationships based on trust, communication, and transparency. Our structured processes and client-focused approach ensure that every step of your building journey is clear, informed, and tailored to your needs.
