Choosing a builder is one of the most important decisions in your home building journey. Without careful review, it’s easy to:
Misinterpret allowances, provisional sums, or prime costs
Overlook missing or unclear inclusions
Compare “apples with oranges” between builders
Risk costly variations later in construction
Make decisions based on incomplete information
