Finding a good builder

Hiring the right builders and trades is crucial to the success of any home building project. USBN provides access to builders and trades across The U.S. who are familiar with various construction methods.

Builders should be selected based on the expertise they offer and their ability to see the project through at a fair and realistic price.

 

How to choose the right builder

There are a lot of issues to be considered when hiring contractors and trades. The homeowner is always responsible for making sure they choose the right people for the job and validate the credentials of those selected.

Selecting builders and trades based on the lowest hourly rate is not usually the best choice. This is because they may take longer and work may have to be redone if they are not familiar with best construction practices.

 

Hire licensed and insured contractors

USBN builders have a successful track record of completing projects for their customers. Part of their code of ethics also requires them to be properly licensed and insured so they do not transfer the risk of lawsuits to the homeowner.
