So Many Choices

3/11/2019

0 Comments

 
One of the challenging parts of building a new home or even doing an addition or remodeling project is that there are so many choices that must be made.  You may have been planning your home project for years and already know exactly what you want.  If not, your architect or builder can likely recommend suppliers that they like to work with.  Showrooms can be terrific places to see what's available and how prices compare, and knowledgeable sales people can educate you about product differences.

The internet can be a great resource for ideas or even a source for purchasing materials.  However, keep in mind that if you purchase a product on-line and there's a problem with it after it's installed, it may not be covered under your builder's warranty so the cost of labor to replace it may not be included in your construction contract.  

Here is a list of products that need to be selected on a typical project.  There may be additional selections needed for your project.
