The custom home builder you choose should be qualified and should have all necessary diplomas in his field. He should be a member of a trade association in his filed. He should be licensed to build homes in your state, and should be insured. If he plans on sub contracting some parts of the construction process to others, these sub contractors need to be insured too. If not, and there is an accident on your premises, you could end up being liable for damages.
A custom home builder should be able to provide references of his work, and many of them. He should be able to furnish addresses and telephone addresses. Make it a point to visit these homes. If you drive by on a Saturday morning, you should be able to find residents out in the garden. Stop by and ask questions. Are they happy with the looks and functioning of their home? Was the builder one they'd recommend without hesitation? Did he complete the luxury home on schedule or were there interminable delays? Were there budget deficits, or was the custom home project completed within budget? Was the builder available to help with problems later?
Look for the tiny details that separate a great house from a good house. The finish of the walls should be superior and smooth and the quality of the cabinetry used should be impeccable. The trim and paints should be of high quality. Look for the things that you can miss, but which can cause your home to drop in value later -- there should be no gaps where the wall meets the windows or the doors. There should be a seamless transition from walls to cabinetry and countertops. Ask your builder as many questions as you want about the kind of material he will use, and ask for specifics.

We bought a one acre lot. We want to build a 8500-10,000 sq ft home. 4 Car attached garage. With a separate 3500 sq foot workshop/garage. Approximately what will it cost? We are not looking at the cheapest or the most expensive upgrades and expenses, just moderate. We have found floor plans we like that meet what we're looking for. They came from a book called ultimateplans.com. Plan # 161104. It has a main floor level, upper level floor plan and a basement level floor plan.
