The housing industry holds annual awards to recognise home builders who are known for producing high-quality work and who are a cut above their competitors. The Housing Industry Association Awards (HIA) and the Master Builders Association Awards (MBA) are the two main events.
It is critical to find a builder whose level of service is constantly improving and who can design creative homes with higher finishes and more bonus features. A home that has been completed and customised to the homeowner’s specifications is unquestionably at the top of everyone’s wish list when it comes to building a new home.
The following are some of the qualities to look for when you are searching for a turn key home builder who upholds the high HIA standards and morals.
A BUILDER WHO IS FOCUSED ON THEIR CUSTOMER
There will be several conversations between you and your home builder before the foundation for your home is laid. The right home builder will listen to their customers’ ideas and concerns while also providing viable solutions that work. A builder should assist the client in every way, especially cost-saving tips when building your new home. The right builder would give their client the option of customising their home to meet their current needs.
QUALITY HOME BUILDERS HAVE A SOLID TEAM WORKING UNDER THEM
When it comes to experience, there is no room for compromise; in fact, it is regarded as one of the most valuable assets that a builder can possess. It is critical to have a team of Builders with a diverse set of skills, especially if the project is to be completed successfully. Sometimes all it takes is a single experienced hand to make all the difference.
HONEST WITH A STRONG SENSE OF INTEGRITY
Any builder who fails to deliver on their promises will not be able to survive in the construction industry. Because building a home is a significant financial and emotional investment, it all boils down to the clients’ level of trust in their builders. That is why we maintain a high HIA standard to ensure that our customers are completely satisfied with our service.
BUILD HOMES ACCORDING TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF QUALITY
A company that exceeds industry standards is someone who will deliver on their promise and build quality homes for their customers. In fact, building a home is a serious business, which means that the builder must work a little harder to ensure that everything goes as planned and that their clients’ dreams come true.
Our team at OJ Pippin Homes is committed to providing each and every client with the highest quality customer service and building standards. If you’re looking to build your dream home, get in touch with our Brisbane home builders and we’ll be happy to help in any way we can.
