Find out if the custom home builder that you are considering has ever filed for bankruptcy. Occasionally smaller and larger companies or builders may have bankruptcy in their past that may impact their ability to work with specific supplies or other professionals. You want to have all possible options open so this is important to check.

Be sure to ask about the after building warranty that the custom home builder offers. Have they been around long enough to have a proven track record of fixing any problems that might develop in the years after building your home.

Go out and look at spec homes that the builder has worked on. Look very closely at all the small details in craftsmanship. Try to look at houses that don't have furniture in them and are not staged, this will allow you to focus on the house itself, rather than the interior decorations and design.
