Building your dream home is one of life’s most exciting milestones, but it’s also a major investment that requires careful planning and the right team by your side. Selecting the right builder is the key to turning your vision into reality. With so many options available across the Sunshine Coast, it’s important to ask the right questions before signing a contract.
At Beachside Construction, we believe in transparency, communication, and quality craftsmanship. To help you make a confident decision, here are five essential questions you should ask any home builder before moving forward.
1. What Experience Do You Have in Residential Construction?
You want a builder with a proven track record and deep industry knowledge. Ask how long the builder has been in business, how many homes they’ve built, and whether they hold any relevant licenses or industry qualifications. At Beachside Construction we are more than happy to share this information and walk you through examples of previous work.
2. Can You Provide Client References?
Nothing speaks louder than the experiences of past clients. Request references and take the time to speak with previous customers about their building journey. Ask about timelines, communication, budget transparency, and the final result. Genuine testimonials offer valuable insights into the builder’s reliability and professionalism.
3. What’s Included in the Building Contract?
Before signing anything, make sure you understand exactly what’s included—and what’s not. Your contract should clearly outline the scope of work, material selections, timelines, payment schedules, and any potential variations. Avoid surprises later by getting clarity on all costs up front. View our process here.
4. What is the Estimated Timeline for Completion?
Ask about the expected duration of your build from start to finish. A clear timeline helps you plan ahead and set realistic expectations. It’s also wise to ask how the builder handles delays or unexpected challenges, so you’re prepared if the unexpected arises.
5. How Do You Communicate During the Build?
Good communication is essential throughout the construction process. Ask how frequently you’ll receive updates, who your main point of contact will be, and how the team manages client feedback. At Beachside Construction, we keep you informed every step of the way with regular check-ins and full transparency.
