No Two Home
Builders are the same...Nor are their Contracts
Home builders: Since there are no official training schools to qualify one to become a home . builder, their skills are gained through trial and error and from the trades of building homes. As a result, their home building business skills, attributes and knowledge are developed through work experiences.
This certainly is acceptable, but at what point do you know if the home builder you are considering is qualified? Moreover, what qualifications do you require?

Home construction
contracts
are mostly authored by fellow members of home builder associations. As
a result, they will strongly favor your homebuilder; and have little if
any contract language that will protect your interests.
Letter from Home Builder (excerpt)
...R.B. Milwaukee, WI
We certainly recommend your program
to others. We view your business as greatly improving the
homebuilder/buyer relationship and giving owners the confidence
needed to work effectively with their homebuilder and to sincerely
enjoy the process. I would personally consider it a learning
experience.
The most difficult challenges a builder
faces today is dealing with uninformed home buyers. These people are
vulnerable and are easily taken advantage of. When this happens, the
whole home building industry receives a bad name and every home
builder becomes a suspect.

... J.P.V. Dayton,
OH.
We followed your guidebook as suggested. We knew
exactly when and what our home builder was doing and the same for
what was expected of us. We are grateful for what we believe we
have, which is a better home and saved ourselves a sizeable sum of
money.
... H.D.P. Redding, CA
Despite
having built before, when I proposed it to my wife again, she said
she wanted no part of it. A friend suggested visiting your website
to view your guide book. I did, bought it and shared it with her.
After reading it from cover to cover, and then building our new
home, we happily moved in our new home last March. Many thanks.
… S.S. Chevy Chase, MD We
just got your book a few weeks ago and I am already glad we
purchased it. Its cost was negligible. I mostly appreciate your
proactive approach. Thanks you Wise Home Building Advisors
… K.B. Hartland, WI
An article in Life Style West Magazine
prompted us to explore your guidebook which we then purchased.
Amongst its highlights was the section for getting the family
involved; for noting our wants, needs and wishes. It became a family
affair and soon rallied the children into being a part of the
building process. It certainly added an exciting dimension to our
family and new home.

Point to Ponder
A purchase to build is
unlike purchasing an existing home. .
Buyers of existing
homes have learned the hard way years ago after paying the price for
their inexperience. They eventually realized when making a purchase of this scale
requires expertise.
Yet, buyers of homes to
have built continue to repeat the same mistakes, in spite that home
building contracts can be more complex.

Guidance Resource (Guide Examples)
a. Contract Abuse: When asserting limited "say so” over your home building contract, you
become.
easy prey for “contract abuse.” An irresponsible approach carries a
costly price. One should never put complete trust into their seller,
especially with the amount of money you'll be spending.
b. Novice Buyers: Sample. It is common to
add items to an existing contract by means of a “Change Order” form.
If to do so, would you be able to make a distinction between an
appropriate charge versus one that is not?
Because most
consumers cannot, they will freely pay wrongful charges because they
lack the wherewithal to question their legitimacy.
c. Advisory Problem: When a buyer seeks
advice about his/her contract from the seller, (homebuilder) a
conflict-of-interest occurs, which becomes a buyer’s disadvantage.
Attorneys and Realtors view this advice as being “unethical” because
it becomes self-serving to the seller.

proper guidance and information. In the end you’ll avoid saying; “I
wish had known that before" or "why didn't somebody tell me?"

"When push comes to
shove"
Informed or not, homebuilders have long been
plagued with home construction problems, often at the buyer’s
expense. It’s a stigma home builder associations persist in
combating, but results are marginal.
However, homebuilders
are not entirely at fault. Buyers add to the problem by making a
purchase of this scope with limited knowledge of what’s involved or
its price for not knowing. To worsen matters, they rely on their
homebuilder for advice, which obviously invites contract abuse.
By its very nature, “when push comes to shove,” shouldn’t
one expect that their homebuilder will act in his/her best business
interests first, then yours?

mentor, with an abundance of resources. It will provide you with all
the necessary information and guidance you will need to enable you
to act wisely to ensure your interests are being served. Of equal
importance, your home building knowledge will quickly make its
presence known to your homebuilder.
