More Questions to Ask a New Home Builder

November 6, 2025

This post completes the list of questions you should ask your new home builder.

Previously, we discussed seven questions to ask a new home builder, which you can find here. We discussed basic information you should clarify with the prospective builder, such as the builder’s experience, licensing, and any referrals or model homes available for viewing. In this post, we’re going to talk about seven more questions to ask a new home builder. If you have any questions or are interested in living in central Maryland, contact Ameri-Star Homes!

8. What Is Your Construction Process?

Not only should you understand the builder’s expertise in the construction industry and with your ideal home model, but you should also be clear on the builder’s construction process. What can you expect? Are they organized? What are the steps of home building, and what role will you play?

9. How Long Does It Take to Build a New Home?

On a similar note, how long will it take to build the home? The timeline can depend on the company’s efficiency, along with the complexity of the build, the number of projects the builder has, and the supply chain. With Ameri-Star Homes, you can expect a turnaround time of as little as four months or so.

10. Can You Work with My Custom Vision?

Can the new home builder work with your custom vision? Are they able to build the home style you want or add your custom features? How flexible are they in the home design? Ameri-Star Homes offers flexible customization for our home models. We care about your satisfaction!

11. What about Complications or Design Changes?

How does the company handle problems that might arise during the construction process? Is it possible to change the design midway through the work? Handling challenges and changes well is crucial to a successful home construction.

12. How Do You Stay on Budget?

How does the new home builder manage finances and keep the home construction project within the budget? Managing finances is a behind-the-scenes part of home construction, but a very important one.

13. Can I Visit the Home During Construction?

What role will you play during the home construction process? During the construction itself, can you visit the building site? Be sure to follow all safety requirements.

14. How Do You Determine the Final Price of the Home?

It’s worth understanding how the builder calculates the cost of the home. Once it is broken down clearly and you know what quality you are getting, you can be confident in purchasing your home.
