Having the Right Mindset for Building Your New Home

Handling Disputes:

Disagreements on a job site may happen but communication and preparation should minimize most disputes.

Disputes can be an unpleasant part of the construction process for you or your General Contractor. When people are involved in a process you are bound to have differences of opinion. You will be dealing with many people through the building process. Odds are someone is going to misunderstand something, and that will always come down to, who will pay for this misunderstanding? These misunderstandings can be costly, waste time or even affect your schedule. This is where communication comes into play, both verbal and in writing. Put everything in writing, on your house plans, on your contractor agreements and in all change orders. This is the most important project you will oversee. Be professional.
