How To Find The Best Builders In Lincoln

Finding a reputable builder, whether you’re looking to do a renovation or build a new structure from the ground up, can be a challenge. There’s no shortage of builder horror stories out there, so it makes sense that you would want to find the best possible person for the job! If you’re looking for the best builders in Lincoln, the team at Brewster Building is here with tips to ensure you make the right choice. ​

​Do Your Research

This may seem obvious, but it’s essential that you find out as much as you can about the builder. Take a look online for reviews or ask friends and family for referrals when looking for a builder. Another tip is to check online whether they are a registered Master Builder on the Master Builder website, as Master Builders are known to represent the best in the industry and offer 10 Year Guarantees. 

Ask For References

Any good builder should have a portfolio of previous projects and plenty of contactable references ready for you to look at. If the builder doesn’t have these available, it’s a huge red flag and a sign that they likely shouldn’t be trusted with your build. 

Ask Plenty Of Questions

Before you sign any contracts, make sure you ask the builder questions that will help you figure out whether they are the right fit for your project. Good questions to ask include:

• Have you worked on similar projects previously?
• Do you see any potential problems with this project? How would these problems affect the timeline/costs of this build?
• What kind of cleanup is covered by your services?
• What happens if this project runs over the expected time frame?
• Are you licensed? Are you a registered Master Builder?
• What kind of insurance do you have?
• Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?
• What payment structure do you use? 
• What kind of communication can I expect?

It’s also a good sign if the builder is asking you questions. They should want to get as much information about the project as possible so that they can properly plan and execute the build. Diving in with no plan or information is a definite red flag. 

Our goal at Brewster Building is to build or renovate homes with incredible attention to detail, trust and commitment ‒ all while keeping the process as simple as possible. Each project we take on is approached from a new perspective, creating a unique solution for each client.
